Pros

They have a lot of ill-gained money, and might pay you well.

Cons

They didn't earn that money. The caseload is impossible, and makes the firm seem like a pyramid scheme. They treat very individualized petitions (EB-2 NIW and EB-1A) like assembly-line H-1Bs, and charge unconscionable fees that often amount to more than a year's income for middle-class Brazilians. You will immediately be faced with a demand for ethical compromise. They aren't even difficult issues. To keep your job, HW expects you to behave in clearly unethical manners, signing off on cookie-cutter petitions that are unapprovable on their face. This is all to fund expensive trashy bling for the dorky arriviste at the top, who has been dinged for unauthorized practice of law who knows how many times now. If you have any conscience, it will twinge in a bad way when you realize he is selling impossible dreams to his compatriots in exchange for fees that are unconscionable by industry standards. Just walk away. H-W is toxic on your resume, you run a strong chance of professional discipline for what they demand of you, and you won't gain any useful experience as a rubber stamp.

Pros

Supportive coworkers who try to help each other when possible, especially if you are part of a team that values collaboration. The role offers an opportunity to develop multiple skills due to the dynamic nature of the work, including client communication, document analysis, case management, and administrative tasks.

Cons

The workload is unrealistic and consistently unmanageable, which increases the risk of mistakes. When issues arise, responsibility is placed entirely on employees or attributed to clients, while management does not acknowledge its own role in poor planning or direction. Compensation is very low compared to the market and the level of responsibility required. Morale across the firm is noticeably poor, and many employees appear disengaged or dissatisfied. Leadership is disconnected from day-to-day workflows and procedures, resulting in disorganization and inefficiency. Huge delays on payment.
