Pros

Hours, Independent work, Young staff 20's-40's, Silicon Valley area

Cons

Managers and attorneys expect you to do too much of a work load in a short amount of time, peers are not respectful of quiet time, to many free loaders and not enough actual hard workers.

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.
