Pros

Recognized as one of Fortune's 100 Best Places to Work - and it is! Orrick truly cares about its employees and employee welfare is an important factor when they make decisions. The benefits are great, paid time off is extremely generous. The implement many programs that are designed to help employees focus on their health and well being. 401(k) contribution. Decent bonuses. CEO is fully engaged. Town Hall meetings several times a year keep employees informed - very transparent. Orrick has strong core values that they embrace - it isn't just talk.

Cons

The attorney to secretary ratios are pretty steep, but this is balanced out by outsourced support systems.

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.
