No brand is big enough. If the brand is big enough, you will always have to remain cautious about pissing them off. The minute you do, they will do whatever they can to ruin you. It isn't much, it is as little as badmouthing you in front of clients, taking away a couple of major panels etc.

I once went to a Senior Advocate's office to brief for a matter. I was surprised to find out that they don't have a separate washroom for women.
So if you guys can share your experiences about things like:
1. Usual working hours
2. Are Saturdays and Sundays always working?
3. How much free time can find on weekdays and weekends if one if also preparing for judicial exams?
4. What's the pay like? What's the best and worst one gets paid?
5. Do they reimburse travel expenses? If this applicable for metro or auto or cabs or fuel of private car?
6. Are meals taken care of when in office working late?
Any other point if you guys can think of. Thanks.
