Pros and cons of working at White & Case
Pros
Excellent overseas opportunities.
Great people, great work opportunities.
Excellent mobility opportunities.
Another important pro is the significant training and development opportunities that are available, and which have practical applications.
The Sydney office is beautiful and has recently been renovated. It's spacious, open plan, with 360-degree views of Sydney and its harbour.
Cons
Little work life balance, feeling unable to switch off from work.
Although the firm allows working from home, the current team I am in requires full time in office attendance. However, the team also requires me to be contactable on weekends and after work during the week.
I find that the culture varies greatly between teams. Some teams are very supportive and cooperative and others less so.
Lesser known in the Australian market.
Lack of responsibility.
