Pros

Just able to work remotely is great. No commute. Great colleagues who help out a lot.

Cons

Great colleagues but they don't have a voice. They are just singing the tune for CEO cos they do not want to lose their job. No one wants to offend them. The good reviews are rigged and forced.

Thank you for your feedback. While we welcome honest criticism from former employees, we feel it’s important to correct several serious factual inaccuracies in this review. 1. Our company does not silence feedback — in fact, we systematize it. We hold All Hands meetings every single workday, and on the third workday of each month, we formally re-read our Red Flag escalation policy aloud to the entire team. This policy encourages every team member to raise any concern — from a broken laptop to suspected misconduct — directly and transparently in our shared task management system or via confidential escalation. This process is part of our culture and is practiced consistently. 2. Patent attorneys in our firm are not only empowered — they are respected. They have direct access to senior leadership, autonomy in their work, and are never blocked from raising concerns. The idea that a patent attorney “has no voice” does not reflect the reality of our working environment — nor does it align with our internal data. 3. The review refers to a timeline that does not exist. We have no record of any patent attorney who left after three years. In our firm, team members either part ways during probation or stay significantly longer. This mismatch raises legitimate doubts about the authenticity of the review. Lastly, we take terms like “harassment” and “bullying” very seriously. If any former employee had a concern of that nature, they were always free — and actively encouraged — to raise it during their time with us through multiple formal and informal channels. Our hiring and feedback culture is built on clarity, directness, and mutual accountability. While our standards may not be for everyone, they are always applied respectfully and transparently. — The Leadership Team at Schweiger & Partners

Pros

The remote working arrangement reduces commuting time and helps maintain focus on tasks. Colleagues are friendly and collaborative, making teamwork enjoyable. The firm’s case file management system is well-organized and user-friendly. Daily all-hands meetings keep everyone aligned and engaged with ongoing work.

Cons

The workplace culture is very direct, which promotes clarity and efficiency but can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or cause people to feel offended if they aren’t used to this style.

Pros

I'm learning a lot here, which feels genuine rather than just promised in job descriptions. Management demonstrates real trust in their team members, giving you the autonomy to take ownership of your work, and the 100% remote setup is great and feels more efficient than in-office environments. The team members are motivated people who care about what they're doing, which makes collaboration actually enjoyable. This is a good time to join since the company is growing - you can get involved in new projects and there's real opportunity for advancement. The environment feels dynamic and innovative rather than stagnant, with new initiatives and improvements happening regularly.

Cons

Remote work means you need to be proactive about communication - since there aren't casual office interactions, being vocal about your needs and progress is important. It's not a big issue if you're comfortable speaking up, but it does require more intentional communication. We do have regular daily meetings to keep everyone aligned across projects. While this ensures good collaboration and transparency, it does mean a fair amount of scheduled time throughout the week.
