I have never heard anyone say one positive thing about FF

like

Working across from FF finance a lot - worst people I’ve ever worked with. Toxic. Know for a fact they are telling juniors to *not* be nice to the other side.

like

“We just don’t tolerate poor work product from other firms” is laughable given the product I’ve gotten from FF

funnylike

Do not go to FF over Willkie under any circumstances

Would avoid both if you can
