Pros

This is a great opportunity to be introduced to the legal field and learn how a large international law firm functions. There are plenty of chances for overtime if so desired. The firm covers a wide range of different practice areas. Cases are assigned to legal assistants and document clerks, sometimes taking into account interest. You find out how you're doing on a regular basis with communication manager.

Cons

While work there you are one of many, so it is more difficult to stand out. Your qualifications tend to be at a higher level than the responsibilities and tasks.
