Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is on par with other large law firms of similar size.

Cons

Very toxic culture with extremely poor oversight at a higher level. Work/Life balance does not exist here unless you are lucky enough to work with a partner able to protect and ensure good management. Advertising about progressive technology and innovative approaches such as "LEAN" are a total fiction created for the sole purpose of selling the same old work to clients.

Pros

Compared to equivalent positions in other industries, none.

Cons

Pervasive harassment and unprofessional staff. Upper management refuses to penalize employees for even the most egregious sexual harassment, provided it is directed towards LGBTQIA+ members of the staff.
