Mid Firm - Associate LexOrbis Employee Review

Flexible timing, Work from home and good leaves policies.

My experience at LexOrbis was disappointing due to a combination of poor management practices and an unhealthy work culture. There is an extreme level of micromanagement at multiple levels of the hierarchy, leaving little room for professional autonomy or independent decision-making. Training and mentorship for junior professionals are inadequate, yet expectations remain consistently high. Instead of fostering learning and development, the environment often feels focused on monitoring output rather than building skills. As a result, growth opportunities can be limited, particularly for those looking to develop analytical, drafting, and strategic legal abilities. The office culture can be difficult to navigate, with shouting, public criticism, and personal remarks often being normalized. Professional disagreements are not always handled constructively, which contributes to a stressful work environment. Work allocation appears uneven, creating situations where some employees are consistently overloaded while others receive significantly lighter workloads. There is also a perception that certain individuals are shielded from accountability, which can negatively affect team morale. Salary credits are often delayed, adding to employee frustration. Additionally, much of the work is highly standardized and template-driven, limiting opportunities for creativity, ownership, and meaningful professional development. Overall, while the firm may provide exposure to a structured IP practice, the combination of micromanagement, limited mentorship, workplace culture concerns, and restricted growth opportunities makes it a challenging environment for many young professionals.

Hybrid working, but they can also call randomly on any day despite fixing WFH days

The firm is going though financial troubles due to continuous bad decisions in last 3-4 years and expansions without application of mind. Salaries are delayed by more than 2 months now. Firms is in such bad condition they are now asking for money from employees and not even paying back in time. All this financial mess is being passed on to employees on a daily basis by hurling abuses and scoldings for no genuine reason. While lot of people are receiving salary without any work, few chosen ones are beging overburdened with too much work. KUST BECAUSE ONE PERSON DOESN'T HAVE A LIFE, THEY ARE VERY HAPPY TO ASK PEOPE TO WORK ON WEEKENDS DESPITE NOT PAYING SALARIES,
