Stress on keeping costs low, keeping headcount low, weak corporate department given the Toronto market and the firm's history; stress on diversity is good, but still a pretty white office

Pros

Friendly staff across most offices I have seen, generally everyone is willing to help. Work can be varied so doesn't get boring. Support staff in my department are excellent.

Cons

Not much transparency when it comes to bonuses and salary reviews. Hours are can be extremely long without any real reason why.

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and compensation for managerial levels and up are competitive. Travel and discount benefits available. Remote/WFM options and five Canadian locations offer flexible work arrangements.

Cons

Practicing lawyers often impede ability to move projects forward. Leadership and management at directorship level is often comprised of practicing lawyers rather than business leaders or those with business training.
