Pros

Firm is well-run and transparent; during COVID there were a lot of surveys and regular meetings to update everyone; firm culture is good and people are interesting and for the most part friendly and willing to provide assistance and mentorship.

Cons

Hours can be brutal; client expectations are often unreasonable and partners for the most part do not push back

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
