Vantaggi
The company works on some of the biggest, most interesting cases in the country and has a well-deserved reputation as being among the very best in this profession. Being a part of this company makes you a better professional. There is a real sense of comradery and a binding thread of foodies. I recognize that over a relatively brief amount of time I have learned so much, and I’m continuing to grow all the time. And while management probably does care more about the quality of the work than stroking insecure egos, they genuinely believe in making everyone in the company look good by elevating the quality of the work and encouraging people to live up to their potential. They want all of us to be the very best we can be, and I can’t fault them for that. In fact, I appreciate it, and I know it’s made me better. They believe in their company mission, and all of the talented professionals we have here, and that is reflected in the company's success. Being part of such a successful company can only help one's resume and career path. Many people who have left this company have done so on good terms and gone on to top law schools or Ph.D. programs and stayed friends with many of us, including with the people in top management positions. That doesn’t happen everywhere, and it’s no accident. This is a great place to work for people who have high standards, want to be part of an excellent team at the top of its profession, and want to push themselves to be the best.
Svantaggi
Work is challenging with a high level for attention to detail, and the hours can be long sometimes. You won’t be happy working here unless you really care about the quality of the work and are willing to push yourself to do your best. For some, this might seem like a negative since we live in world where few jobs demand this level of quality and professionalism. It's not for everybody. You have to truly enjoy the work and the people around you for it to be worth it, but then isn’t that true for any job? Work-life balance is a relative thing, but unlike many places no one works longer or harder than the president and vice-president, and they always have your back when push comes to shove.
