Pros

I am struggling to find something positive to say about this firm. I guess one positive aspect is that you can learn a lot about immigration law and work alongside experts in the field.

Cons

Long hours. Salary isn't great. Paralegals and assistant paralegals are treated pretty poorly.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
