Pros
- Amazing co-workers. Very supportive, collegial, international, and extremely well-educated. - Fairly laid back place to work compared to similar places. More like a small, dysfunctional family firm than a faceless vampire squid corporation. - Great place to learn all about international asset recovery. Global Recovery Group has likely pioneered some best practices here. - Work can be dynamic and interesting (at times).
Cons
- Mediocre comp (relative to industry). - Morale tends to be low. - Nepotism/favoritism. - Company is completely dominated by lawyers who see everything through the prism of the legal profession. - Company is largely a bureaucratic reflection of the government bureaucracies it serves. - Work experience doesn't generally translate well to a wide variety of other occupations (outside of corporate law). - Nature of the work exposes you to the darker side of humanity and all the things that can and do go wrong in business (and people's lives).
