Seyfarth Shaw reviews

Very toxic culture with extremely poor oversight at a higher level. Work/Life balance does not exist here unless you are lucky enough to work with a partner able to protect and ensure good management. Advertising about progressive technology and innovative approaches such as "LEAN" are a total fiction created for the sole purpose of selling the same old work to clients.

Time-keeping sucks! As a PL you are a time keeper, so you have to input everything you do during office hours (even sending a 2 min email) and if it does not match up to 8 hrs, it gets questioned. Also determines your bonus. Covid - firm did not offer hazard pay and did not provide monitor, laptop - nothing during WFH. "Post" covid - made everyone come into office full-time, despite ALREADY self-purchasing the at-home equipment and learning to work efficiently from home for over a year. AND we're still in a pandemic. SLA's (deadlines) are almost impossible to meet especially with the HUGE case load you will be subjected to. PTO is provided...but not encouraged bc of the mass amount of work. Main takeaway: Professional growth maxes out quickly. Honestly, you can learn a lot in 2 years at Seyfarth; you will then be able to find better opportunities that offer a salary twice the amount you started with at the firm. DO NOT GET COMPLACENT. KEEP IT MOVING.
