Pros

Get free food sometimes. Incredibly large name in the immigration world. Good for someone looking to start a career in law, but definitely wouldn't want to stay there.

Cons

Work is essentially reproducing the same thing over and over and is mind-numbing. Hard to find passionate, intelligent people working there. Had to work with very new associates, who had no idea how to manage individuals. Very poor company organization. Pay is very low compared to other paralegal work.

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.
