What’s the longest time you were in the final stages of getting the job, before they actually gave you the offer? Did you think they moved on?

There was a company I interviewed with, I had 3 interviews within a week and then silence. After a month I heard back, for feedback. It was so bizarre, I already forgot about it. They made me an offer and since it was a great salary, I accepted. However, I should have spotted the red flags (and there were many) and never joined, it was my shortest tenure ever.

They confirmed that they were too busy to go through the process, it was basically my future colleagues trying to get more help and company was growing like crazy without recruiters and even HR. I was waiting for a confirmation of a starting date and they basically told me to join an induction one day before and if course I couldn't. Contact was clear as mud, the boss was a bully ... If you asked about your delayed pay (and it was a payroll processing company), you got told off. It was something else.

Any experience working @ Chad Jones law?
I’m currently discontent with my income.
(3rd year. Salary=80k and no performance incentive. I brought in $1.4mm AFTER partners claimed over half of fees on my big cases.)
I see CJL offers an incentive+ base but I’m curious about that structure.
Any good or bad firm culture to speak of?
Is it impossible to actually earn a respectable incentive bonus?
Am I going to have some partner come cut me out of any cases where I might actually make a solid fee?
