Pros

Very little micromanagement, remote work

Cons

Health insurance costs a lot more compared to other companies I have worked with. If you are not an attorney, you are treated as a 2nd class citizen. Training is minimal and the person doing the training isn’t very good at it. They provide holidays off but if busy you are expected to work through them.

Pros

The people at WEMED are smart, collaborative, and supportive. There is a strong culture of professionalism and mutual respect. The work is dynamic, interesting, and high level, which keeps things engaging and provides constant growth opportunities. Leadership is thoughtful, approachable, and expectations are clear. Overall, its a great place to build a career in a supportive environment.

Cons

Like any large law firm, the work can be demanding but it comes with the territory of doing complex, high stakes work.
