Pros

You get to work with a lot of great people from all offices, some partners are willing to teach and have patience (others may not). I've made some of my best friends working here.

Cons

Management can be picky about dumb things, let senior staff get away with things the junior staff would get reprimanded for (e.g. being in the office 3 days a week), and the older staff who've been there forever don't know how to do their jobs and pawn it off on the junior staff. Benefits are great, pay is not market, and they know that - also said that they will not adjusting for cost of living. Expect a 1-2% raise as a top staff member.

Pros

Relatively good pay Strong companywide culture

Cons

Note: Cons apply to the editorial team, rather than the entire company. Lackluster onboarding Poor training with insufficient mentoring Inconsistent application of editorial standards and methods that are more concerned with not offending attorneys than with actually making documents better Ignorance of/disregard for basic rules of grammar Forced employees across the country to work on Pacific Time Gaslighting Belittling of previous experience, a general attitude of condescension Criticism of employees in front of other employees Lack of preparedness for meetings and instructional sessions
