Pros

The people are great, and they really know their stuff. Attorneys and paralegals work well together, even if there can be little support for junior members. Helping people. The pay is great. Interacting with people from all over the world.

Cons

The massive layoffs weren't fun. The work is very repetitive and can be stressful. Not much room for advancement without going to law school. The fluorescent lights are punishing, too.

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.
