Morgan Lewis reviews

Benefits costs are higher than average. 401(k) vesting is a five-year cliff. No real bonuses. If you work overtime, you get in trouble, but if you don't, you get in trouble. Work 80+ hours weeks because they're shorthanded--and they're always shorthanded because people burn out--and they'll still complain when you take a day off to do necessary personal stuff. Whatever you do isn't enough.

If ML could hire monkeys to do the job of assistants, they would. This demeaning work environment makes you feel worthless. They don’t want anyone that has a brain or anyone that might offer positive ideas for change and improvement of morale. They want you to do your job and shut up. On top of that, all personnel with the exception of assistants can work from home. The only people required to be in the office, are support staff. Support staff are required to be keep records of all of their work assignments. It’s not a happy or positive work environment and I am so glad I left. I am at a new job where my strengths are appreciated, my opinions are valued, and am part of a team. At ML, you’re in an island by yourself. Finally, the staff is not well compensated. By industry standards, ML is on the very low end of salaries.
