Pros

A good place to start if you are new to immigration law (at any age). You will learn a LOT. Everyone is very busy, but if you tell someone you need help, they will help. Because the firm is so big, they are able to give almost instant, thorough insight to any development in immigration law. A good workplace for women + good corporate values. Comparatively good pay and benefits. Room for promotion. Flexibility to work around school schedules if needed. A lot of good people to work with!

Cons

Even with all the good values and comparatively good pay, the firm is still very corporate-minded. Half of the case preparation process is outsourced to an office in India. Ultimately, the firm values quantity over quality (or, you know, that typical corporate mindset that demands perfection, but won't pay for the time or workforce to actually reach it, then blames you for unhappy clients). This is why there is such high turnover, aside from people leaving to attend law school. Some teams lack cohesion, and are *very* unorganized. Some of the partners are very inflexible and are not at all approachable (the typical management that takes your concern and beats around the bush with endless corporate talking points until you give up on getting any sort of a real/straight answer).

Pros

You’re always busy, so you never get bored. There’s always something new to learn since immigration law is always changing. 4 weeks PTO. Good benefits. Decent starting pay.

Cons

You will be explained how to work a type of case one or two times and then be given about 60 cases. Management isn’t very supportive after that—if you make a mistake you are criticized harshly. There isn’t any incentive to be better or work harder than the person next to you since you get raises and title changes based on the amount of time you’ve been there. One guy spent most of his time texting all day and got paid what I did.
