Attorney Larissa Zagustin was accustomed to the very formal, corporate environment of a top tier Latin American firm, having worked at one in her native Venezuela for three years.

Both her interviewers were very casual, and one, who sat slouched back in his chair wearing a visor, looked as if he had been partying the night before. Posters covered the walls, and the office tour included a room for playing pool and ping pong. The kitchen had an all-you-can-drink soda dispenser.
