Pros

HK is a big company with international locations. This means you get to learn a LOT about the area you are in. If you enjoy being a Lawyer and working in a firm, then you will enjoy HK. You will meet interesting clients and be exposed to the legal world.

Cons

You know when you clock in, not when you clock out. You must be on call late hours. The partner you work for will determine your experience, so if you get a bad partner, you will not enjoy your work. Pay is not as good as it could be, and employee rotation is not the best. Lots of people leave within a year.

Pros

Gained valuable hands-on experience in a fast-paced work environment.

Cons

Leadership from the top of several departments created an unnecessarily cutthroat work environment. Many management decisions appeared to prioritize short-term objectives over employee retention and morale. One of the most concerning patterns I observed was that several employees with 20+ years of service were terminated around the time of their annual performance reviews. Whether intentional or not, it created a perception that long-term loyalty and experience were not valued. In addition, many of the support departments operated in a way that fostered hostility rather than collaboration. Communication was often poor, accountability was inconsistent, and the overall culture became increasingly toxic. If you're considering working here, be aware that your experience may depend heavily on your department and leadership, as the organizational culture can be challenging.
