Pros

Don't be fooled with the good wage. you will regret big time soon.

Cons

It's a very weird law firm like no other in Australia. Chinese lawyers and staff are very weird and anti social. 99% of clients don't speak English. Everyone is speaking Chinese with each other all the times. it's a Chinese law firm but in Australia. Colleagues don't even approach and interact. This can be called the squid game firm. They have big problem retaining employees. They either sack them or they leave. one in one out so regularly. The boss thinks he is managing a prison. He walks around and in and out lawyers offices. Lawyers are not allowed to close the door of their office, boss rocks in anytime he wants as if he is a cop with a search warrant. You will be very uncomfortable here. Don't work here no matter what they pay you. Don't lose your current job for this. they claim they are changing into a multicultural firm but nope it still same old Chinese mentality dominating here. It's bad never seen something like this.

Pros

1. Some people are nice - not neccessarily competent but nice 2. Some clients are interesting.

Cons

So many it's not funny - too many to list so here are the main problems 1. Terrible management, especially Henry, the actual CEO. 2. 0 induction and training. You are expected to know everything and will be verbally abused if you ask your partner for help or show that you unfamiliar with proccesses 3. Incredibly disorganised operations 4. As a grad, you will be shoehorned into a team that is not compatiable with your career interests. 5. Constant alienation by management to ensure bottom line employees are divided. 6. Big egos everywhere. Partners will undermine you if they see you thriving. Colleagues reluctant to help you as a junior due to their own workload. 0 collaboration. 7. Tried to screw me over with pay.
