Pros

- Can capitalise on the firm’s branding as largest law firm in the world

Cons

- Poor leadership and pitting staff against each other which resulted in a factionalised work environment - Tactics such as threatening termination of employment were employed - Frequent blame game and gaslighting occured when things go wrong. No one at the top takes accountability. - Poor communication from and micromanaging occurs from top down - The SOPs are a mess and top is not welcome to suggestions for how to shorten processes, insistence to use time consuming and inefficient processes.

Pros

Everybody there cared about working together, no ambushing, The pay was great, hours and workload manageable, I loved this firm and would go back in a heartbeat! Shout out to IT and the Assistants - their cooperation is on the next level of the "united means success" the firm enjoys.

Cons

I didn't experience or hear about any in my 5 months there, and I was on-site 4-5 days a week. I only left because I needed to care for my Covid-stricken only child.
