Pros

Hands on experience in a big law firm

Cons

The asset management and investment funds sector lead is under-qualified. It’s a very toxic workplace culture, I was micromanaged, discriminated, misunderstood and would often cry. As soon as I spoke up about it I had to leave, very bad place. Partners are also nasty.
