Pros

Good colleagues. Firm recognizes the value of innovation and will do all it can to win and keep a client. No one micromanages you but no one orients or on-boards you, either.

Cons

Be prepared to work long, long hours and weekends. Onboarding in business development is ridiculously inadequate, onerous given some areas have high turnover. Management must think colleagues will orient you to their best practices, but no one has time. Management needs to involve themselves more to know who is producing, who is not. Global expansion has resulted in a chaotic environment.

Pros

It's a global firm that is constantly expanding. Good if you're looking for law related opportunities in other cities or countries. Fairly transparent in what goes on within the firm.

Cons

There aren't many fringe benefits or perks available. There also seems to be low morale and not much effort made to make employees feel appreciated. Certain departments are very understaffed and employees are extremely overworked and don't have a work/life balance.
