Advice to law firm management:
I would of liked to see them slow down when it came to hiring new employees and focus more on working with what they already have.
Pros:
Everyone is very straightforward and has a no nonsense attitude towards taking care of work and working together which I appreciated.
Cons:
They hired more than they could take on too quickly which led to some internal problems within the firm. This led to the work environment feeling very constricting and constrained.
