Pros

Good downtown office location. Not open-concept and you can get an office depending on your role. Free coffee and tea. Looks good on your resume. Good benefits. You can work from home.

Cons

If you aren't a lawyer, you're second rung. Lawyers can be really rude so you need a tough skin. Lots of overtime, even on holidays. Pay is not competitive and raises are tiny. Understaffed for workload and deadlines. Lots of turnover. You are often told how to do your job by lawyers who have no expertise in your field so you wind up with mediocre results.

Pros

Everybody there cared about working together, no ambushing, The pay was great, hours and workload manageable, I loved this firm and would go back in a heartbeat! Shout out to IT and the Assistants - their cooperation is on the next level of the "united means success" the firm enjoys.

Cons

I didn't experience or hear about any in my 5 months there, and I was on-site 4-5 days a week. I only left because I needed to care for my Covid-stricken only child.
