Firm has lost its way

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- Opportunities to interact with interesting startups and people - Some colleagues are hard-working and just trying to do their best - Efforts put into branding and messaging so the firm's reputation is good

Cons

- "Culture" is well-intended but it is actually very political - inauthentic people with personal agendas - Lots of mistrust and fear - Bad allocation of resources - Unreasonable workload - Lack of meritocracy: just need the favor of senior management who is too busy to think about what is best for the firm - Employees and leadership churning frequently - Inexperienced leaders who have been elevated due to churn - Too much has changed for the worse

Pros

Almost all colleagues are friendly and welcoming

Cons

If you are applying to the legal team, take note that within the past 1 year+, there have been 3 legal counsels that have joined and then left in quick succession.

Business outlook

Pros

- Learnt & got exposed to a lot of industry; great learnings - Everyone is generally helpful and kind - Can work from anywhere

Cons

- Unclear expectation, timelines, and goals from manager all the while with little to no guidance - No mentorship whatsoever, and with no mentorship, they expect you to do highly unrealistic work - Everyone is busy because they're very understaffed and utilizes a lot of interns/contract workers to subsidize the work of a full-timer - So many office politics, associates talking behind your backs, toxic environment at times - unrealistic goals + workloads + toxic senior associates - no recognition for work, chaotic, no visibility from management, lot of people overworked with low pay
