Pros

Nice people, very friendly environment, new office,

Cons

No room for growth You are a number Was very dissatisfied after my orginal manager was let go. They brought someone who's policy seemed to be that they didn't want to hear about any work issues you had and to just do your work and leave them alone. I am not a complainer as other coworkers had experienced this same issue.

Pros

Great clients, interesting and challenging work, colleagues who I truly enjoy working with, and a lot of autonomy to develop my practice at my own pace and timeline. I appreciate that they don't force us all into the same trajectory or mold.

Cons

Sometimes the hours get crazy, but I think that's par for the course in litigation, and the hours never seem as bad as what my counterparts are dealing with.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
