Paralegal Management Sucks - Paralegal Ropes & Gray Employee Review

Helpful and warm colleagues, collegiate atmosphere

Fiscally conservative, typical long hours

The OGC department is ok/fair to work in. Remote option is still available if an argument can be made. Some of the newer management is amazing and forward looking. Seems like a lot of room for opportunities especially with the surge of AI. The best time to work here was the first year, second year tapered down and it seems like HR forces management to lessen “good” end of year ratings. There is a new system for goals (SSP/ strategic priorities) which seems pretty exciting if it’s taken seriously.

Bonus is incredibly minimal, less than a normal paycheck. Work can seem very tedious, and repetitive. Training is poor and all over the place, very unorganized. There is no room for growth in this department, suggestions have been made to create new roles that are more specific rather than “analyst”. The term “analyst” is used to load on as much work as possible with no distinction of “stretch” job duties.
