Great platform, but toxic culture and black box comp

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

decent work/life balance, talented attorneys and staff, great place to be a white male with a book of business

Cons

Bully partners, callous HR, and management that treats all employees as disposable. Don't buy claims that firm is "polycentric." Culture is 100% DC old boys network. Firm works hard to pay each person as little as they can get away with. Partners with a book of business have free reign to terrorize their colleagues. The firm is shrinking in the US and cannot keep talent because it does not invest in its employees. Constant revolving door of attorneys and staff.

Pros

Global firm so looks good on the CV Great location Staff are nice

Cons

New management for Business Development are in way over their heads. Processes in each department are constantly being reinvented. They say they are polycentric but all of Canadians decisions are made out of Toronto. People get in and quickly realize they need to get out.
