Pros

One of the biggest pros is how forward-thinking the company is. Management actively encourages us to push boundaries and think outside the box, which is something you don’t often get in the legal profession. It’s one of the most exciting firms I’ve ever worked for (and when you’ve worked for the kinds of firms I have, that’s really saying something).

Cons

It’s just a matter of not everyone can handle this type of work environment. Not everyone is cut out to always be so ready to think creatively and approach problems from a solutions-oriented mindset. I think the biggest con is just watching people come and go who thought they were something they’re not.

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.
