Pros
Was great in that there were many good people to work with, you learn a lot about patenting and trademarks depending on which section your posted, opportunities to work for lawyers or departments, and close proximity to the downtown core. Overall a great entry point workplace. The usual 9-5, no overtime pay and none is expected so that's good. Compensation is average but nowhere near great, and you first pay is your last pay; it wont ever go up. Though I've heard they may go through a genocidal layoff period soon, which may mean firing average paid and hiring peanut workers.
Cons
Unfortunately, the management is a little sketchy. They pretend they don't make enough money, they cheap out on Christmas parties (every year it gets worse for no reason), you get a measly $100 dollars as bonus (92 dollars AFTER TAX) for Christmas. They have limited potential, so you can't grow anywhere past what you are when you get the job, and there have been 0 raises or promotions. Don't bother with this company, you deserve better.
