Pros

Very generous 401k match, formerly generous PTO policy, friendly coworkers

Cons

Management is out of touch with employees needs and wants. Blame for mishandled projects or timelines will typically run downhill. PTO policy has recently changed which has made the workplace more rigid and contentious. The pay is not particularly competitive compared to other firms, but the flexibility is what most employees appreciated. With recent updates in policy, I would expect some upcoming attrition of paralegals.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
