Pros

Surrounded by great colleagues that are both brilliant and easy to get along with. The management here has open door policy. You're always welcome to ask questions. No questions are stupid. This is very rare at other firms. Think the pay may be higher because White & Case is a prestigious, global law firm. Cafeteria here is nice and food/beverages are reasonable priced compared to eating out.

Cons

Con – partners can be intimidating. Some secretaries are worse/ruder than attorneys. They’re impatient and snappy when you’re trying to gather information from them. LONG hours. This place does suck your energy. From what I heard, hard to get promoted or salary increase, so negotiate higher salary when you interview.

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.
