Pros

Pay — but ultimately not worth it. Nothing else that i can think of.

Cons

Working at Reed Smith, and on the Private Equity team supporting a leader at the firm, was the worst experience in my 30+ year career. Zero work-life balance. Don’t expect anyone to care if you are bullied or lied to or about and trust no one! The manager and team/firm leader are impossible to please and you will end up getting no support from management no matter what. 5+ people left/were fired from the 6 person team in a 4 month period in 2023. Save your career and take another job! I wish I had.

Great teammates, hybrid work environment, nice offices

Too many chiefs and not enough support members; unequal treatment of staff where some are allowed to do things a certain way while others aren't.
