Pros

Great work quality, friendly and helpful team helping out, modern outlook

Cons

Not a "best workplace" for attorney - attorney are mostly treated as workhorses to bolster a company party culture that the attorneys are not a part of - at least at the NY office. Its very hard to be fulltime all of the time - and you can lose your health benefits which seems kind of terrible when you know everyone on your Axiom team has full benefits, and parties, and is milking you and your knowledge and your degree so that they can throw parties for themselves and never worry about healthcare.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, we appreciate you raising this with us. We value all of the work our lawyers do and try to keep you involved and informed. I’ve shared your feedback with your Lawyer Talent in New York. The next event in New York is the Summer Party on June 21st - we’d love it if you could join us. On this occasion we have missed the mark so I’d like to chat to you more about your experience. Feel free to reach out to me at advance@axiomlaw.com and we can discuss this further. Stephanie

Pros

Junior, less experienced, and some senior lawyers may be able to land some engagements to list on their resumes. One or all may even help them find a permanent role or more temporary roles, but most likely they will spend considerable time without an engagement - "on the beach" - as it is known.

Cons

The harsh reality of platforms like Axiom is that they market themselves as an elite executive sandbox, but in practice, they often operate as high-volume, low-margin staffing agencies. This is Axiom. They capture the premium from the client, pay the attorney a relatively low hourly wage (your plumber and electrician probably make more), leaves the attorney with commoditized commercial contracts (NDAs, vendor MSAs), and trap true C-suite legal minds in a bureaucratic layer with minimal benefits.
