I interviewed there but went with another offer. My impression is that the people were a little cold and distant/standoffish - both the attorneys and paralegals that I met with. Their conference rooms and lobby are beautiful though lol (Silicon Valley).

Go for it! I don’t think I felt the people I met with were horrible or anything. They just didn’t feel “warm” but were professional enough. They also took too long to decide so I went with another offer.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
