Pros

Large firm. Wide range of exposure to immigration issues. Salary.

Cons

Some of the attorneys were not very nice, demanding and didn't explain the work clearly. Also, you work under a senior paralegal, and don't have direct contact with attorneys.

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.
