Pros

None. Zero. Nada. Laughable.

Cons

Tons of sexual harassment happening with a certain guy that has worked there for years. Stop allowing departments to hire people based off appearance only... It was constantly talked about by HR Managers. Treat staff members better! They work so hard and complete all of the LAST minute stuff that comes through only to be treated like nothing compared to attorneys. Also, there is zero work-life balance. Snowing? Come to work anyways! You had a death in the family? Better not need more than 3 days to cope! It's horrific how employees are treated. There is an upper management person who will scream your name down the hall for you to come to her, like a dog, instead of just calling your phone or sending an IM.

Pros

Each office has its own culture but most have events pretty often and lunches provided all summer long. You are overworked doing things outside your JD but you can bring this as a pro to say it only adds to your resume.

Cons

If I could write a book about my HB experience, all the victims would come forward. Working in one of the departments where you see pretty much everything is saddening to know how much they are informed and do nothing about it. Mistreatment, sexism, sexual harassment, bullying is just the start of it. My experience left me with no other choice but to leave because I was harassed by my leadership about things that were not work related. I was discriminated against and the way my leadership spoke about the other leaders was very telling. There is zero moral and ethics in place at this firm. Work schedule is 4:1 with zero flexibility, say bye to your mental health.
