filled with lifeless and uptight lawyers
I guess that’s what happens when you only take toppers in your firm
Ridiculous rating systems. You can work and kill yourself entire year but simply because your senior may want to put you at 5m rating and not 5h, you will not get full bonus. It is as subjective. They will not think twice to make you work on weekends and holidays and you being a naive associate, will continue to do everything on the hopes that you will atleast get full bonus after working so hard. But that also is not assured. Then you will hear this stupid speech from your senior that 90% bonus is not bad. Why should I be paid less if I have worked hard throughout the year.
Everyone worth working with has either left or is on his/her way out. If you have no other option, of course take it but if there are any other tier 1 options, please don't join this place.
