Pros

If you're fresh out of college and looking for legal experience, you will learn a lot. This is a good stepping stone for those ready for law school and are looking for a bit of experience and contacts. You might be lucky and get into a great team with a solid attorney. You will meet some really great people.

Cons

You are thrown into the deep end from day one, and are expected to push out cases with little training. Your wages are pretty low and you'll have to get several promotions to make a semi-livable wage in Silicon Valley. They only seem to hire inexperienced people. If you're a seasoned paralegal, you're still starting at the bottom of the food chain. You will be overloaded with cases, micromanaged, and your well being is less important than pushing out cases for endless clients. Constant stress and pressure to push out cases without a lot of concern about your well-being. Feels a bit like a sweat shop. The turnover is extremely high, but they don't seem to mind.

Pros

once someone gets to a certain/senior level, compared to other companies like BAL, yes, the pay is higher. compared to top 100 am law firms in the NYC area, not so much.

Cons

- managing attorneys who have cared about the non-atty workers have all left - workloads extremely high. very difficult to have work-life balance - client fees are so low that it's difficult to make a profit. -SLA/client response times are difficult meet, given the 1000+ population each person manages -not human/sympathetic senior leadership. many passive aggressive leadership here. -complaints to HR have fallen on deaf ears. - many many people who are great workers/colleagues have left, and not for money.
