Pros

Staff can be nice and open, had a a lot food places around it

Cons

- They hire people through favours so its about who you know, one girl got hired as a Paralegal in a week without going through HR just by calling a Partner and asking for a job because her dad was friends with him. -They ignore you as long as your doing the boring menial tasks their happy with that. -The Management is all over the place -They will not progress your career your left to rot unless you kick up a fuss with HR -They deny treating you wrong and bully you into a corner
