Pros

The managers and team members are always willing and available to help you if you have work-related questions or issues.

Cons

This is not a Monday-Friday 9-5 gig. It is also not really a legal or tech position. I appreciated the flexible hours as I am a self-motivated person. However, I feel they take advantage of employees by not giving clear working hours and instead measuring performance through a target, which for me is far unattainable within 40 hours per week. 70-80 hours per week were realistic working hours for me in this role, which is not how they described the role in their job listing. I had to work late nights and weekends every single week that I worked here to try to keep up with their target. Many team members would also regularly struggle to keep up with the heavy workload, making it impossible to achieve a healthy work-life balance. In this role I was hoping to gain both legal and AI professional experience. However, that is not really what this role entails. This role is 90% summarizing medical records. I was regularly expected to get through thousands of pages per day which included indiscernible doctor's handwriting and medical terminology which I was not familiar with. There was no real legal aspect involved in this role. The "AI tools" provided by the company do not actually make the work any easier or faster. On several occasions, management discouraged me from using any of the AI tools at all, and to instead rely on myself to summarize thousands of pages of medical records. The technology at this company is not "cutting edge", rather, it is completely unreliable and for me was entirely useless. Training is incredibly overwhelming. Many people were fired during training. In order to keep up, I was forced to work all night every night. I did not sleep for the first several weeks in this role. Completely unreasonable expectations.

Pros

-Office Stipend -Fully Remote -Amazing team members. And truly, everyone was a delight to work with. -Constant willingness to change the AI technology for the better. -Will always consider feedback, you will never be gaslighted for attempting something new, or creating a more efficient way to work. Always open to implement a new product. -Somewhat flexible hours -ALOT TO LEARN. Everyday is a new day to learn something. What you learned yesterday, has completely changed. Great for growth of knowledge. -Unlimited PTO

Cons

-There is absolutely no work/life balance. At all. You are expected to meet incredibly high quotas/target that are unrealistic unless you work literally 24/7. What you learned in your training, throw it out the window. Nothing you learned will be used in your actual work. You get demands that could potentially be drafted within two hours but also get demands that can take a whole day and are still worth the same amount of points. 4 points = 1 standard demand. Required to hit 100% target (40 points/10 demands) by the end of the week. It was unrealistic as these cases are dense with medical history, current injuries vs past injuries, multiple providers, had to filter years and years of past history out of your demand and was still expected to be completed in a couple of hours unless you asked for extra points which still have to be approved and can be denied. Law firms take weeks to complete the same. Even with the AI technology by the company, everything is done manually anyway when the AI fails to input the important info or the annotations team does not acknowledge the data that actually needs to be highlighted, and everything has to be redone. You would see the rest of the team, much like yourself, submitting work at 3-4am. I worked about 16-18 hours a day just to meet the bare minimum. And it's true, the reviewers are great, but definitely inconsistent in the way the demand is edited... you would be dinged on one section and you would fix it on the next demand, and be dinged again by another reviewer who told you to do it the way you did it the first time. Had reviewers apologize for the inconsistency so you know it's real. Consistently told to attain the 100% target but more than half the team was barely meeting 70%. Loved the company itself for everything else but these unrealistic quotas and consistent pressure led me to so much anxiety, health issues and burnout where all you could think about was how you had to hit target and when to start your next case. There are definitely high performers of course and more than half are very experienced paralegals and/or lawyers that are getting paid wayyy too little for this position. If you are reading this, I too, read these reviews before accepting my offer and thought these people can't handle the start-up life. And the start up life was amazing, the expectations for this specific position was not. Please think twice before you continue for this position. Cannot speak on any other position.

Pros

1. Remote work. 2. Case by case work. 3. Good management.

Cons

1. The company is actively misrepresenting to investors what the product is. It sells itself as an AI/human drafting tool, when in reality, "drafters" and "Legal Operations Associate" are doing all the work with some help of a very basic AI that saves some time but not nearly enough for the expectations. 2. Of all the people they hire and train at the same time as you, just a few will be able not to get fired, achieve a position, and comply with the demands they ask to be drafted. They ask for a daily demand, but it goes up until it reaches 11 demands in 5 days, which is just crazy to think about (it is supposed to be normal because of the AI, but as I said, it is not good enough). Almost everybody works overtime and weekends because if not, it is nearly impossible to achieve the minimum amount of demands.
