1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
They have mostly M&A and Startup investment work. As an associate, you will have to work long hours. Pay is extremely poor.
Work-life balance- Poor
Culture- No toxicity. Very helpful seniors. You will get to learn a lot.
Food- They provide evening snacks for free to everyone, ranging from pizza to samosas and all kinds.
But obviously, this could simply be because they don't have enough work for interns. Plus, from what conversations with A0 hinted, the pay scales weren't comparable to ELP etc.
If anyone here has worked at the firm, or with the founders before, can you please share what working for them was like? Mainly trying to understand how the nature and quality of work, work culture and work-life balance is. Also, if anyone can give a ballpark figure of their A1 retainer, that would be great.
Thanks!
