- 1.0AssociateCurrent Employee
Pros
Get to learn alot, around a lot of really smart people.
Cons
Big law is legitimately one of the most challenging things. Everything is urgent, but nothing really matters or is actually that urgent. As a fellow Gen Z, this is not the move. Very little flexibility, very little room for growth, bad benefits, no care for perspective on current world conflicts.

Yearly raises are a HUGE disappointment for business staff. Everyone gets the same crappy increase. It doesn't matter if you earned a consistently exceeds on your end of year review or a doesn't meet expectations. The end of year increase is the same.
