Pros

A variety of work and mostly nice colleagues that I don’t mind heading out for a drink with during the week.

Cons

During busy periods you will be expected to work as you would in any other US corporate shop / magic circle firm, i.e, weekends and holidays won’t be protected and working till the early hours of the morning is not out of the ordinary. However, the pay and perks have fallen far behind market. It also doesn’t help that the firm operates a total black box policy in regards to associate remuneration which is absolutely not the norm in the industry.

Pros

Flexibility in day to day schedule

Cons

The firm about faced on its core value of “Diversity is in our DNA”. Compensation is below industry for staff as the firm works to save every dollar for the partners but under pay staff. Further, the emails from the firms “executive chairman” show a lack of emotional intelligence as many of them are tone deaf to the circumstances of the day. The firm has clearly taken a shift from its socially liberal roots becoming more and more MAGA in nature.
