Consilio

Attorney document review (aka e-discovery) changed during covid. Always severely sedentary, the remote work is more isolating and makes it difficult to collaborate and communicate with teams. Quantity and speed of work was valued over quality and consistency of work. No strategy or logic skills at the lower level. Very difficult to move up. Projects end with no notice, so very difficult to maximize down time. Pros: some benefits, large company, some projects/cases can be interesting at times, opportunity to learn new software/ technology. 

I came to work for this company through the acquisition of my previous company.  The onboarding from contract to salaried employee was terrible.  I was given less than three days (during the Christmas holidays) to accept a lowball offer or be jobless by January 1st.  The management was poor with communication, and the culture of the company was "every man for himself," such that it was difficult to work with or collaborate with co-workers and/or team members.

Working as an attorney in e-discovery has different pros and cons.  Pros are that you can work from home and have the possibility of getting placed on a team with consistent projects.  However, if you don't find that network, you will be stuck applying for very short (week) long projects.  Pay for an attorney is extremely small and not enough to sustain you.  There are also no opportunities to grow into anything higher if you start in e-discovery doing document review.

Fine for a very quick gig, but no more.

I would not recommend this company. They do not value their employees, always outsourcing work to cheaper/foreign entities outside the US while cutting off their USA based workers. 

Great document review gig. They provided training feedback and the fact that you can work from home remotely is the best. Document review might not be for everyone, but if you are looking for a document review job, I would recommend Consillio. I wish they had part time gigs, would love to pick up a project to supplement my salary law firm position but generally they require full time. 

Flexible with schedules and time off, but lacks training and personal attention, some people get left behind with no opportunity to advance.

Management is so busy they often do not have time to help and certainly not to train. We are expected to learn on our own, though at least there's documentation for most processes now. The company is not receptive to feedback and does not fairly compensate all employees. 

Generally was a nice company to work for with good people on the recruiting side, there is some disorganization with responsibilities and not great training though. The hours were very irregular which was my main reason for leaving, had great flexibility at times but at other times felt like I had to be on call all the time and had to even work weekends occasionally.  Nice management on the team.

This job has been a godsend to me at various points in my life but unfortunately work isn't consistent. But, when projects are available, they're not stressful and you're not micromanaged as long as you're honest about your time/hours and maintain a good rate of review and review accuracy. 

You can do the same thing and get paid a lot more elsewhere.  You'd think that at the extremely low pay rate the work would be less complicated, or that they would pay more for more complex reviews, but neither is the case. 

Document review can be tedious in general, but my (remote) encounters with leadership have been pleasant and helpful. Hours are extremely flexible, but low pay and there can be a long time between jobs.
