Pros

Lots of food after Attorney meetings and plenty of overtime if needed.

Cons

Year end bonus and salary increase was a huge disappointment. Take advantage of as much overtime as possible to bring up your salary.

A Sinking Ship

Pros

Compared to other law firms, seemed to have an ok work-life balance. Most attorneys were gone by 5:30 PM. Quiet on the weekends. I was a non-attorney position, so I can't comment on billing expectations, but compared to what I've seen at other firms, GT was not as aggressive.

Cons

This firm is average or below on compensation. For non-attorney employees, being in a smaller office NOT in Florida or New York seems to really limit your career growth. This place was a sinking ship when I left. Good attorneys and staff were leaving in high numbers.
