Business Outlook

Pros

Firm is overall pretty good - there are a lot of activities and events hosted by different committees. Everyone socializes and also puts their head down to work. Very busy lawyers so there's constantly work. There are floater/coverage support when needed. I like that this is not like an international firm where HQ is somewhere else - Vancouver functions like its own office. You feel the international aspect of the firm, but it does not lose its regional identity.

Cons

Technology seems a bit outdated, same with office interior. Waterfront is not bad of a location but there are not any amenities around the office.
