Pros

You want to experience real life examples of: 1. Nepotism 2. Brown-nosing 3. Politicking 4. Gaslighting 5. Blame-shifting 6. Lack of scruples Great firm to work at if: 1. Your surname is Lim 2. You are female 3. You flatter the boss and agree with everything they say If you meet all 3 requirements, no competence required!

Cons

*If you are a male - all of this applies exponentially 1. Scope creep is the norm. Everyday is a surprise waiting to happen. New files you have not been trained for will appear spontaneously. They will always be described as "easy" and "common sense". 2. Unless you fit one of the 3 categories above, everything you do will be CAPSLOCKED SHOUTED AT IN OFFICE GROUP CHAT. Belitting you is daily fare. 3. Rewards, benefits and pay are arbitrary and unrelated to your actual performance (and they will take every opportunity to shortchange you). 4. If a problem occurs - if you are a favoured sycophant, it will be handed to someone else to handle. If not, you handle and you do so on your own time and dime. 5. Everything is easy until a favoured one has to do it. Then it becomes 'too menial for them to handle' - see item 4 above. 6. Trust, integrity and respect are all lacking. Ask for things in black and white and make sure you read it 3 times to ensure they did not slip in surprises. 7. You are viewed always as a tool unless you brown-nose. In which case, you can expect to have favours heaped upon you.

Pros

Supportive and approachable partners who are willing to mentor and guide, especially for juniors who are keen to learn. Exposure to a wide range of conveyancing and legal matters gives good hands-on experience and practical learning. The firm values teamwork and there is a genuine effort to build long-term relationships with both clients and business partners. Opportunities are given to take on responsibility early, which helps accelerate professional growth for those who are proactive and committed.

Cons

Work can be demanding during peak periods and requires good time management. Not ideal for those who prefer a very structured or slow-moving environment.
