As someone who's worked with the team in the past, I can testify as to both — SG's legal brilliance, as well as his tendency of pushing the hardest deadlines on to you. As such, to some, all of the above may be tolerable because of the learning you get; but in the eyes of a good number of people who left, the stress, work-hours and micromanagement was not deemed workable.
At the end of the day, it will be your choice, and I'm assuming that bigger and more famous competition law firms - S/CAM, Trilegal etc - are not available to you. However, if you have any other more famous opportunities w competition law, you should take it.
But its peculiar because everyone thought that SD is the one who manages competition team and SG is managing corporate team.
At the same time - growth stagnates after a certain level/years of work and the work environment can be very toxic. Therefore the attrition rate is extremely high.
I would still recommend freshers right out of college to give it a shot since you will be made to work on matters of substance in the first few days of joining itself
