Horrible Choice on Many Levels

Associate attorney

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Attempt to have a professional culture, several great colleagues, but in the end an epic fail. You should be able to get a better job easily.

Cons

Significantly below market pay and bonus. Do not let the first year salaries fool you. After your 3rd year, salaries get compressed and bonuses are non-existent. Laterals are rarely integrated on any reasonable level. The credit system Combined with significantly below market pay rewards work hoarding and complete lack of cooperation. The IP group is horrendous and the worst offender. A very few attorneys have actual work and as a result, equity partners are feeding equity partners with very little room for advancement or experience for younger attorneys. Practice areas and groups are monopolized. Attorneys are hired then left to fend for themselves. Only the very few survive. IP leaders are not in it for the group but rather in it for themselves.
