Seyfarth Shaw reviews

Working at Seyfarth has shown me the harsher side of the legal field. A field that should be working towards inclusivity. During my time at Seyfarth I worked in the immigration department as a paralegal. The expectation is perfection and yet those same standards are not applied to the attorneys. It is a very one sided environment and as a paralegal you will ultimately be blamed for anything that goes wrong. I have seen my colleagues be abused by attorneys at Seyfarth and witnessed HR ignore the calls for action and attention to professionalism in favor of their higher ups. Every “feedback” meeting you have will be filled with insults and in return you are suppose to respond respectfully because otherwise the attorneys will counteract and make your job more difficult. The work is easy but know that it is extremely difficult to work in an environment where the culture of positivity and being a team player is diminished.

They are extremely shady and desperate. “Upper management” truly does just look at you as a number. I dedicated so much of my time and energy into this company that did not deserve any of it. I was fired without any warning. They dug and dug to have some sort of valid reason to fire me. It boils down to poor budgeting. Attorneys weren’t paid market so they got rid of those that were deserving of a significant raise or bonus (a week before that was supposed to be initiated). This place does not care about their employees. They will leave you in the dirt without any thought. I would never recommend this company to ANYONE. The pay is HORRIBLE.
