Pros

This law firm had a global reach, and that was the key reason I joined. I would have avoided it if I had known the reality.

Cons

It was a high-stress job where I was expected to work brutal and exhausting hours. This led to a terrible work-life balanace and a lack of peace in my life. Even after tolerating all that, I saw no future growth here and quit protect my career. It was a waste of time. I suggest everyone avoid wasting theirs by learning from my poor experience.
