Pros

I’m pleased to say that my time here has been extremely beneficial for my professional development. Though it took longer than I’d hoped to finally receive a promotion, my supervisors followed through on their promises to give me more responsibility once I proved that I felt comfortable with my duties. In short, my experience has been and still is fantastic!

Cons

I’ll mention this again: they are slow to promote. At the end of the day, it isn’t the worst thing in the world, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re very growth oriented.

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.
