Pros
I joined Axiom to have the flexibility of remote work and flexible hours. The extent to which either of those goals is accomplished depends on the companies with which you are engaged. Some allow flexible hours/remote work, some want body in a seat during business hours. You can choose what kind of work arrangement you will accept and Axiom is great at looking for those kinds of engagements for you. The work assignments have been really interesting and a good mix of sophisticated transactions and every day operational needs.
Cons
The trade off is mediocre compensation without a bonus structure and PTO that does not account for experience level or longevity with Axiom. The quoted salary does not get met unless you are engaged for 50 hours per week. There is relatively no opportunity to interact with other attorneys from Axiom, which may not matter if you are a very senior attorney. Junior attorneys who are looking for training on the job will only find it if their engagement has training programs and will allow the Axiom attorney to participate. Axiom does offer a wide breadth of CLE through Lexis and PLI, but no real supervising attorneys who can teach and train junior lawyers.
