Pros

This firm had plenty of clients. I was impressed with that. I didn't realize that the firm wasn't worth working for.

Cons

Working for this firm is awfully stressful. Employees have to work brutally long and exhausting hours to meet client expectations. Their client-first approach means employee mental peace never gets priority. It was really exhausting to try to keep up with the ever-increasing workloads. Sadly, the compensation didn't grow as fast. It was poor compared to my peers in other firms.

Pros

Some colleagues demonstrated actual competence at their work.

Cons

• Senior staff controlled which people received high-profile assignments and advancement opportunities based on personal relationships rather than merit or performance • Colleagues outside the established inner circle were routinely overlooked for roles and projects while less experienced people with better connections moved ahead repeatedly • I brought relevant qualifications and took on difficult assignments, but my career progression stalled because I lacked the relationships that mattered for advancement • Career development conversations and advancement decisions happened without transparency or input from those being affected, determined entirely by people in charge • The organization made no effort to acknowledge the pattern of favoritism or implement systems that would ensure fair consideration for all employees
