Pros

Great place to build immigration expertise. Extensive training resources, structured workflows, and opportunities to work with high-profile clients. Strong brand name in the industry. Good entry point for new professionals or those seeking long-term immigration experience.

Cons

The place feels more like a sweatshop than a law firm. Heavy workloads with frequent overtime expectations. Limited upward mobility unless in specific offices. Communication from upper management can feel distant, and work-life balance often suffers due to caseload demands.

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.
