Pros

- Good starting salary for Paralegals compared to other law firms - Great for anyone wanting experience within immigration law - has a great reputation in the immigration sector (which can open doors) - Flexible WFH policy (2 days in office) - Friendly colleagues, diverse workforce - Range of interesting work including different projects

Cons

- Not a great salary for Associates and upwards, especially compared to other law firms - Not a great work/life balance - can be very busy - Not proactive enough towards major issues which could affect employees (e.g immigration riots last year in the UK) - Certain senior leadership individuals are extremely toxic, engaging in belittling and micro-management behaviour (and face no consequences when this is raised with other members of leadership and/or HR) - Diversity is stressed by the firm, however there is not a diverse enough representation in senior leadership - Mixed messaging/guidance regarding promotions

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.
