They don't tell you upfront that you're working for private equity - Avis employé Paralegal Ropes & Gray

- They won't tell you upfront that a lot of your work is for private equity. Shady. - Lots of hidden rules (welcome to Corporate America, I guess?), can be jarring for someone who doesn't fully understand the hierarchy at a law firm, that Partners can get away with verbal abuse because they "put in the work" to have ownership at the company. But they won't tell you upfront and will act like "everyone is super approachable!" when that is a lie. - They don't want you to deeply understand the work you're doing and why, they just want you to execute it. This is a general trend in Corporate America where leadership benefits off of people "staying put" in their lower levels of work. - Tattle tale culture (but that's also Corporate America) - Trying to get me to check my phone as soon as I wake up, even though I'm not clocked in... stealing employee time - Fired me right before I could file for accommodations for my mental disability, making up reasons for things that could have easily been worked through and trying to smear all the blame on me
