If you're lucky enough to be part of the "insider clique" of associates and managers who receive clear favoritism from leadership, good for you. Otherwise, get ready to be overworked, unsupported, and overtly shamed in this hostile workplace.

HR was ZERO help, as their job is to protect the company's interest. I was routinely screamed at by one of my colleagues, overcrowding in the workplace made for ridiculous competition among associates for reserving conference spaces. Unrealistic expectations were a daily occurrence. I consider myself a 7am - 7pm professional because that's what is needed working in a fast-paced firm in DC, but even those hours weren't enough to accommodate the work being assigned. Additionally, there was almost zero diversity there, and while they use female empowerment as a cover for this, the women in charge are awful. Don't be fooled. It's an alluring brand but believe me, you deserve better.
