Pros
Free lunches and coffee; WFH options after working a while
Cons
Working here often felt like being trapped in an environment where overwork and chaos were the norm, paired with an undercurrent of cliquish, unprofessional dynamics. Nepotism runs rampant—family members/friends of existing employees are consistently prioritized, receiving higher pay and lighter workloads despite lacking the qualifications or experience of their peers. This leads to an unfair distribution of responsibilities, where competent employees end up shouldering the tasks of those who are clearly unqualified, all while being compensated less. The turnover rate is staggering, and promotions are handed out haphazardly, even to those without the necessary expertise (e.g., managing legal files without proper training). While some attorneys are supportive, others contribute to a toxic atmosphere—open hostility from leadership is common, and if someone takes issue with you, they may actively undermine your morale until leaving feels like the only option. Morale among staff is perpetually low. Support teams are drowning in unrealistic workloads, leading to tension and frequent conflicts between colleagues. Mental health is treated as a punchline rather than a priority; struggles are met with mockery and humiliation, even from those you consider friendly. Your value here hinges entirely on what you can exploit for the firm’s gain—unless you’re willing to play political games or have insider connections, you’ll be overlooked, overworked, and undervalued.
