Pros

smart capable employees that are a pleasure to work with really strong safety culture very good technical capability good benefits and perks

Cons

the rating process is a black box hardly any influence as to what your next job can be salary treatments are not fair and sub par no 9-80s not capable of making timely quick decisions, middle management afraid to take ownership and make decisions very slow to move and react as a company frustrating for someone who like to get things done rather than sit around and talk about it seems to be alot of wasted effort on processes there are groups dedicated to maintaing process and all they know is thier process and they know nothing about the real "work" so processes are not applied in a "fit-for-purpose" way

Pros

A great to place to get your first 2-5-10 years of experience, stellar quality of people, ethical, knowledgeable superviosrs, abundance of in-house knowledge and expertise in every area of the law and great willingness to mentor. In all, a perfect environement to learn proper client interaction etiquette and hone legal skills. A very professional atmosphere and a lot of autonomy early on in your career.

Cons

Plan on working 60+ hour weeks, with work days stretching across global time zones. Lots of lateral movement and cross-training with few opportunities for upward movement. Couple that with zero bonuses and modest, mostly inflation-based raises.
