Pros

Company is good and do activity for their employees and family. Employees are very nice. Great benefit.

Cons

Excessive micromanagement. Negative environment from management part in which make it very difficult to work with them . Never appreciated the work and effort employees do for them. Management are always pointing fingers at the thing we do wrong and never see the good we do. We get no help from management when is need it. They do not accept when they make mistake and blame their team instead. Poor leadership. Overworked and under appreciated by management. Because of this really good people constantly are leaving the firm but yet again the company don't do nothing about it. Clearly the bigger issue here is not Business Services is Management. This is why I do not recommend working on the Finance department.

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.
