Pros & Cons

  • The firm has wonderful mentors who care for the professional growth and personal well-being of team members. Everyone's contributions are highly valued.
  • Super structured, comprehensive and continuous.
  • I never have to work overtime – the firm is committed to preserving work/life balance.
  • Even as a graduate, I can work from home. I generally spend 1-2 days at home, which is the norm for most employees (obviously some more, some less, I just prefer to be in office).
  • The workplace culture is very inclusive, and I really feel like part of a team.
  • The salary could be higher in comparison to other graduate cohorts.
  • The very occasional disconnect between partners and lawyers about workflows and opportunities for work.
  • Some teams are better than others at training and getting grads involved.
  • The entire office hotdesks (there are no private offices) and sometimes getting a seat in the office can be tricky.
  • From a graduate perspective, progression in the firm is not yet clear.
