Business Outlook

Pros

Open door policy. People are generally very accessible and willing to help, but sometimes a bit too busy to stay organized or level-headed. Nice corporate events and a good sense of community.

Cons

Did a lot of doc review. Greater responsibility and exposure to clients may not come until later. Not much mentoring or training programs. Management can be somewhat hands off.

Business Outlook

Pros

Treat all employees professionally. Always included in firm events, project group meetings, etc. Fair pay, fair time off.

Cons

Some of the partners/associates work very late and often do not get their work started until late in the day and then expect employees to stay late.
