Great work/life balanceThe good thingsThe dispute resolution unit I'm in is very welcoming and friendly- there are lots of teamwork and helping one another out in difficult times. You'd feel like you're working with friends. The partners leading my unit are very approachable and caring and go out of their way to help you. There's a dragonboat team and plenty of events too- it's a Skrinee lifestyle!
The challengesThe pay is average at best. Our charge out rates are also notoriously low (compared to other large law firms), making it difficult to get high collections which affects our targets which determines our bonuses. Therefore, our bonuses are ultimately dependent on how much fees the client pays the firm, and not how much work and effort you put in.
