      Decent for BIGLAW

      Corporate paralegal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Top compensation; great vacation policy (i.e., you can actually take it); fantastic office space (the offices really are works of art); more friendly people than one would normally find in a law firm of this size; a fair amount of socialization; great summer programs in most offices; fancy coffee and espresso bars in the building; lots of other perks.

      Cons

      BIGLAW is inherently flawed, and can never really produce a satisfying work environment because of the billable hour structure. Even Orrick has its difficult individuals, but the overall vibe is touchy-feely. Not all offices are created equal, however, and CA offices have a much better vibe than NY or DC.

      Good place to work, but plenty of room for improvement

      Paralegal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly work environment; recognition for good performanace; good pay; good opportunities for advancement.

      Cons

      Communication between attorneys and support staff can be lacking; some incompetent paralegals become entrenched in the firm and rise to senior status without merit simply because they have been there a long time; not as many perks as other firms (paralegals can't use Seamless Web, tighter restrictions on car service, not a lot of free events for employees).

      Pros

      Well known firm and job security
