Pros

Several people are wonderful but they are so as individuals, regardless of where they work. A good name to work for, but very niche.

Cons

There are several "problem people" at very high level, (read: Partner). Other Partners are very well aware of that and even comment on it but no one would dare challenge the system. This is to the expenses of the "regular workers" who, if happening to work for those partners, are basically doomed. Work-life balance is absolutely not good and yes, it is an American company but it operates worldwide and, as many US companies (and this one is not exempt), they want to use their same model/culture worldwide. The training provided is not consistent worldwide and you are pretty much left at your own mercy (or if you are lucky, you get someone willing to help, who had to go through the same hurdles before). It is a shame that I f someone makes a mistake or comment on the poor training/preparation given, no one would ever admit the issue and they will end up being blamed. Once you are in the "protected circle", then you are untouchable, just work like in a sweatshop for at least 5 years and you should be fine.

Pros

Good health benefits, work-life balance, PTO package for new permanent employees is very generous. Starting salary is fair but will not go up much from there...

Cons

You must work several months to earn a permanent position, little room for promotion as the management positions are taken by long-time employees of 20+ years. The company is large and corporate so it is very difficult to make any changes or suggestions to current processes and plans. The work for paralegals is extremely repetitive and specialized so that you will not appeal to other immigration firms.

Pros

Work-life balance is ok, I would not call it great. The leadership is very hands (in a good way) on but stuck in old ways at times. There are constant possibilities for trainings and growth with tools and seminars.

Cons

There is a lot of segregation between teams and various types of employees. The initial onboarding processes are not efficient and often train employees in tools they might not use or have access to.
