Pros

The OGC department is ok/fair to work in. Remote option is still available if an argument can be made. Some of the newer management is amazing and forward looking. Seems like a lot of room for opportunities especially with the surge of AI. The best time to work here was the first year, second year tapered down and it seems like HR forces management to lessen “good” end of year ratings. There is a new system for goals (SSP/ strategic priorities) which seems pretty exciting if it’s taken seriously.

Cons

Bonus is incredibly minimal, less than a normal paycheck. Work can seem very tedious, and repetitive. Training is poor and all over the place, very unorganized. There is no room for growth in this department, suggestions have been made to create new roles that are more specific rather than “analyst”. The term “analyst” is used to load on as much work as possible with no distinction of “stretch” job duties.

Pros

- High trust given to you during the day, able to manage day to day on your own - Some awesome coworkers - Nice benefits

Cons

- They won't tell you upfront that a lot of your work is for private equity. Shady. - Lots of hidden rules (welcome to Corporate America, I guess?), can be jarring for someone who doesn't fully understand the hierarchy at a law firm, that Partners can get away with verbal abuse because they "put in the work" to have ownership at the company. But they won't tell you upfront and will act like "everyone is super approachable!" when that is a lie. - They don't want you to deeply understand the work you're doing and why, they just want you to execute it. This is a general trend in Corporate America where leadership benefits off of people "staying put" in their lower levels of work. - Tattle tale culture (but that's also Corporate America) - Trying to get me to check my phone as soon as I wake up, even though I'm not clocked in... stealing employee time - Fired me right before I could file for accommodations for my mental disability, making up reasons for things that could have easily been worked through and trying to smear all the blame on me
