Pros

Corporate experience, work with people from all over the world

Cons

Expectations for what you can produce are very high, this place exists on the backs of paralegals churning out legal paperwork for the attorneys to sign off on. Compensation is rigid, anything more than a minimal raise is hard to come by, no bonuses for paralegals.

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.
