Pros

That's a tough one. I really am scratching my head trying to come up with one. Okay...most clients are nice and understanding, until their patience is tested.

Cons

Executive team answers to equity investment firm for which Aderant is just one of its many holdings. The pressure starts there and then rolls downhill to line directors and then on to the rest of the employees. The only measure of overall performance is meeting or exceeding EBITDA goals. The recent acquisition frenzy has created an environment where very few people, including managers, know where to get answers to questions. Policies change frequently. Great employees are leaving as fast as possible. If you have any real world industry experience, this is not the place to seek employment. New hires are generally right out of college (IF they can pass the required DPAT test) and know nothing about the legal space.

We move quick and we have a lot of expertise on staff that wants to make everyone better

Cons

Everything changes and if you're wanting a static workplace instead of one that continually refines itself, this might not be for you.
