Worst Firm in Atlanta

Pros

The building is probably the only nice attribute. Of course this cost is passed on to clients.

Cons

Everyone is terrible. Egotistical yet inexperienced attorneys working in a very negative and hostile racist, sexist and homophobic environment. No one cares about teamwork or clients. The bottom line and making partner is all that matters. If you are not that smart but enjoy stabbing people in the back, this is the perfect environment for you. Just imagine how they bill, treat and talk about their "ignorant" clients.

Pros

Seyfarth Shaw is a wonderful place to grow one's career as an attorney. Because it is so innovative, it will remain among the top law firms globally as more traditional models become endangered by a changing marketplace. I am proud to be among the professionals working to serve our clients.

Cons

The legal marketplace is challenging. As with all lawyers, our lawyers struggle to find the best way to balance our desire to provide the best services that our clients can expect at a price point that allows us to function as a business. Our innovative platform allows us to do better than our peers as we confront this challenge. But it is hard nonetheless.

Pros

Proximity to trains; good location, though that is changing soon

Cons

Hostile environment, dominated by cliques, with virtually no teamwork, or a common goal; utterly incompetent department management who appear clueless as the department dissolves before them; astonishing turnover rate
