Pros
- Diversity of matters and client requests means creative and truly interesting work - Generous PTO offerings and competitive benefits - Management and consultants are good people, generally very pleasant to work alongside - Opportunities to branch out and learn the processes of other practice sub-groups to help develop a 'big picture' understanding of E-Discovery - Promotions, raises, and bonuses are all attainable - but they must be earned twice over to ensure their delivery.
Cons
- While there are few obstacles to learning new processes and tools, there are few established roads, and even fewer as practice groups become more rigidly defined and separated over time. If you want to learn more, you have to be very motivated - At times work loads can be extremely high and work/life balance suffers, and while PTO can be quickly accrued, there are occasionally times it is simply not possible to use it - Communication and interaction between working groups is being promoted less over time - making it difficult for newer hires to learn where certain areas of expertise is concentrated or how to gain it themselves.
