Pros

The most spectacular pro is the salary, especially for a recent graduated in law/masters. In addition, in my opinion, the kind of client and cases you can work on are top level, comparing to other law firms based in Spain.

Cons

Many working hours. Fierce competition between teammates. Limited access to information when you are working on a case. Little involvement in meetings or discussions with clients. Lack of guidance by senior associates and partners.
