Pros

This is a large law firm with offices around the globe. Being able to work together with administrative staff from other offices and cultures was a great experience. There are a lot of very smart, talented attorneys here.

Cons

Staff in all departments are stressed, under a lot of pressure and constant deadlines that are unrealistic. They like to outsource everything that they can while leaving the local employees in charge of catching mistakes, work overload, hounding supervisors, unhappy employees abound, huge lack of transparency on many levels, a hostile work environment.

Pros

To be honest the view is the only thing I looked forward to as management is frazzled and not very helpful but instead are catty and send others to do their dirty work when they have something negative to say.

Cons

Lack of training. You only learn steps 3-5 of a process of 20 and not in the correct order either. You are furthermore reprimanded when you do the work incorrectly which is all they will ever get if not given the proper tools and and information. It seems like they don't want to be helpful even though they say ask a lot of questions-however when you do ask they don't have time and say follow the 3 steps you know (again which are not enough).
