Pros

Proximity to the metro, snacks and a really expensive espresso machine that broke down constantly, nice offices.

Cons

As stated in the previous reviews, everyone there is extremely unhappy. Salaries are way below the norm (more so because PLs are constantly pushed to their limits to push petitions out like an H-1B mill - obviously compromising the quality of the work), attorneys and paralegal are also disrespected constantly by the senior attorneys, since the is no HR department it is difficult for complaints or concerns to permeate through to the owner of the firm. This place is a horrible place to work if you want to maintain somewhat of a work-life balance. Several of the paralegals were asked to come on the weekends to complete ridiculous "urgent" tasks without being remunerated for their work. Turn around is extremely high so people's work get bummed off constantly - inducing to more unhappiness and chaos at the firm. Benefits are limited or non-existent also. There is really no growing room for paralegals or associate attorney. While working there I felt like I was back in high school - the office is run by a click of senior attorneys who control everything.

Pros

The people here are generally very nice and welcoming, which makes for a pleasant day-to-day environment. There are occasionally catered lunches in the office, and the kitchen is always well-stocked with plenty of drinks and snacks for the team.

Cons

The primary issue is that the pay is significantly lower than what competitors are offering for similar roles. Even after staying with the company for a full year, there was no raise provided—not even a 1% cost-of-living adjustment. Additionally, the workload is very high and feels disproportionate to the current pay grade, leading to an unsustainable balance for the compensation received.
