Global Law Firm Is a Mixed Bag
What did you not like about this institution?
As with other firms, they have very long hours. I've noticed a sizable handfulof attorneys who were jerks. Some of the management, in fact, had people who would ratherblame others than own up to their failure. Some would go out of their way to humiliate you. Thiswas very frustrating, but thankfully not everyone in the firm was like this.
