Pros

Top-notch training for staff in the latest immigration practice, case management software; many professional development opportunities - even for a Biglaw firm. Intelligent peers; beautiful office space.

Firm recently went through a wave of staff layoffs in early to mid 2016. You've been warned...

GREAT atmosphere in the Sac office. Everyone is congenial, polite, and friendly. Great pay and atmosphere.

Cons

Very stern on 3 days in office policy, even if staff is sick. Also PTO and sick time are in the same bucket.
