Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas Legal Associate Reviews

Likes

Work culture is certainly better compared to a lot of Tier-1 law firms. Opinions and grievances are heard and addressed fairly quickly. Meritocratic hierarchy. Hybrid work policy. Emphasis on autonomy and good client interaction.

Dislikes

Payband is certainly on the lower end amongst Tier-1 law firms despite same levels of workload and clientele quality and client commitment. Retainer revenues are primarily locked-up at management level. Specialized teams not given their due. Skewered management priorities.

Dislikes

There is lot of groupism , office politics, there are no weekend off even though its there mandatory policy. You can be expected from your senior to come to office on Sunday. Seniors commit lot of work to client without asking to jr employee about same Once senior told me that we appreciate people taking weekend off. I failed to understand that whether i am supposed to take weekend off or not. You can often listen from senior that what were you doing entire day in very rude manner. People discuss there that why are junior taking so long break I was working under a principal associate she told me that I can g Vet your work to the core" As she a principal associate". That is not her job. I thought 🤔 who will do it Same level employee has once told me that she will not be able to guide you with your work along side mine. I was doing the work assigned to me for the first time in my life. These are few off the incidents that I am mentioning on here.. There were many that I have faced in my employment time there. I am not the only employee who has left the work. There are many who has for the same for the mental health. They have felt burn out due to crazy working hour. Except the deals they do. they have nothing more to offer to you. please keep your mental health as your priority..learned a hard lesson around....Read More
