Does anyone have insight on working as an attorney for EEOC? Work/life balance, if it's as rewarding and interesting as it sounds, whether there's room for advancement within the agency or government, etc.? Thanks very much!

I interned at a regional office in law school. The attorneys had a great WLB and the office was very family friendly, even though they were down an attorney because of a detail to DoJ. Also great paralegal support (but nothing like a firm) EEOC is very progressive, so If there’s any govt agency that’s going to provide a nice WLB, I would think it would be them.

It depends what District office you are working at. I worked as a trial attorney and had a great experience. Many of my colleagues in other offices were not treated well because the Supervisory Trial Attorneys yelled at the attorneys on a regular basis and were treated them like dirt. Work/Life balance was great fir me, but terrible for others.
