Vantaggi

They can be given points for work culture and diversity. But in the midst of all the unforgiving work conditions there is no time to stop and enjoy that. Most people will be glued to their screens because there's no breathing room that'll allow for meaningful human interaction. In the end, anyone looking for a foot through the door can and should consider this place. BUT know that you will lose your peace and a piece of your mind. No work will ever be enough and compensation will never allow for financial independence. Watch out for yourself and other kind individuals that management will and is brutal too. There's a reason the turnover rate is high. I've seen people fired during covid for not feeling well or simple family emergencies. Good luck get that name on your resume and DIP.

Svantaggi

Pay is sub-par and there is no work-life balance. Training esp if you have no background/experience in business immigration can be great, but that's the only highlight . The only other highlight can be genuine coworkers because they know all too well how things work. You survive together. Management is comfortable with their titles and pay. SO they will rarely acknowledge your work and at most times you'll only really hear from them is when you mess up or they have critique. In my employment I never once applauded for any work, not even simple words of encouragement from any senior or my own manager. Mobility is hard and even if you do move up, the title may feel nice, but the raise would be 10K at most and that's me being generous. Workload is prepped and prepared for you before you even get to start and get your footing. It IS high volume and stressful especially when they hire fresh grads or people new to the field. Managers believe that micromanaging is the best way to counter this especially when they set unrealistic expectations with FNs (foreign nationals) or their mobility contact from the company. Overtime is common and widely expected. Managers monitor every move like you are a hourly employee and IM constantly. The most enjoyable part of the job were the kind individuals you connect with and the role you play in their immigration process being less jarring. But that's about it. Most days I remember not being able to go to sleep peacefully the night before work because of the stress, never-ending workload and seniors targeting every move I made.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
