Pros

Occasionally the office will provide snacks. Compensation is decent, but would not consider competitive. Benefits are good though.

Cons

The office (or at least my department) is rampant with office politics. Certain employees get favored and are subject to better treatment depending on how much they suck up to management. Management offers little to no help and is severely incompetent. Overall, it’s an unfriendly and unpleasant work environment that makes coming to work dreadful.

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.
