Pros

*Some really awesome people *Beautiful office *On-site cafeteria with pretty good food

Cons

*Really low standards for staff hiring *No way to distinguish yourself as an LAA - work hard or don’t work hard, it doesn’t matter - you’ll get the same raise either way *No transparency in compensation *Absolutely no standards wrt filing (physical or electronic) - impossible to find things unless you filed it yourself *LAAs are required to work 3 days per week in the office, whether it makes sense or not *Management talks a good game about wellness and diversity but not much real evidence that they care very much

Pros

Office culture is inclusive and friendly. Salary is somewhat competitive for staff. Bonuses are not generous. Benefits are average. Most attorneys are great to work with, but there are some of difficult attorneys that can make one’s life miserable. LAAs handle lot of billing responsibilities. Overall, a good place to work if you don’t mind the above.

Cons

Your happiness depends, in part, by who you work for. Small bonuses and raises.
