Pros

The holiday parties are ok, although they dissolved the monthly party.

Cons

Lack of leadership Lack of personal and professional growth You could get lost in the shuffle It was just very unpleasant working here as a whole. I would recommend working on the corporate side of the firm because the legal department is controlled by the managing partners, whom are moreover unpleasant to work under. Client service managers pass on work to their team. Senior managers have no accountability and pass on the blame rather than educate, assist, and provide feedback. Then again, you won't expect it from them. You will soon witness the immaturity, favoritism, nepotism, and ill-manners that trickles from the top, down.

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.
