Pros

Great place to learn Corporate Immigration. They really have a lot of resources and plenty upward mobility. The firm does try to make folks mix and mingle with the 3rd Thursday parties, where they put out a great spread of food and also serve wine and beer. Paid Overtime

Cons

No balance. Plan to be overworked to the bone... You will work long and stressful days. You will never feel like you are caught up with your workload. Management sucks.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
