Pros

Some of the senior paralegals are great teachers and great people!

Cons

No training what so ever. I learned how to use the database and do full cases in a week by studying the firm and immigration law around the clock. Furthermore, there are too many office politics here, something I thought wouldn't exist in a "prestigious" firm. It turned into a hostile work environment very quickly. The only thing that kept me smiling was how rewarding immigration work can be, which most people working here take for granted.

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.
