Pros

The benefits package esp medical. There are some groups that are great to work with.

Cons

There is no growth in the secretarial department. At one point there were opportunities but they were given to the "favorites". Management does not treat you well, unless you are a favorite. Management doesn't know who is a valued employee and who isn't. They also don't have a clue as to who does what on a day to day basis. They also don't know their own policies. One day, you will be told one thing and the next something different. If there is an issue, don't brother going to the direct manager. Go above and keep going until it's fixed. The moral of firm is down. Has been for years now. No year end bonus. The "bonus" is what the attorneys give you. Some will give nothing!

Pros

Good perks, free lunch, great to have on your resume

Cons

The culture did not keep pace with the expectations placed on employees. High performers often found themselves taking on significantly more work without meaningful recognition or opportunities for advancement. It became increasingly difficult to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and there was a noticeable disconnect between leadership messaging and employees’ day-to-day experiences. If you’re someone who enjoys solving complex problems and can navigate ambiguity, you’ll gain valuable experience here. However, be prepared for an environment where long hours, shifting priorities, and inconsistent support can become the norm. I would encourage prospective employees to ask detailed questions during the interview process about workload expectations, career progression, team stability, and how success is actually measured—not just how it’s described. White & Case gave me valuable experience that helped shape my career, but I ultimately realized that professional growth shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being.
