Pros

Great location and good benefits. They have good community outreach and pro-bono programs, and great diversity and inclusion program.

Cons

Communication from the top management dwindled after the new CEO took over and the senior management seemed very exclusive with very little transparency. The communication used to be town hall style and very inclusive with video connection to all offices with the old CEO, but the new one only seemed to want to communicate via email.

Pros

Great clients, interesting and challenging work, colleagues who I truly enjoy working with, and a lot of autonomy to develop my practice at my own pace and timeline. I appreciate that they don't force us all into the same trajectory or mold.

Cons

Sometimes the hours get crazy, but I think that's par for the course in litigation, and the hours never seem as bad as what my counterparts are dealing with.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
