Venable LLP reviews

Management sells you a lie when you join, but you soon discover that you've been dumped into a toxic environment. Top management is emotional and like to use fear as a motivator. They hire managers who are unqualified and help to further maintain the culture of treating people like dirt (unless you're one of the blatant favorites, who are promoted regularly and often at the expense of others). Overall there is an air of dictatorship and towing the line is the order of the day.

Working at Venable is very stressful. There is no organization there, management does not value their employees and all managers aren't meant to be managers. There is no opportunity for growth within the company even when you ask for it. They would rather hire someone from the outside than promote the people they have from within. Management doesn't back their employees when it comes to policies and procedures and even when the attorney is dead wrong you still get blamed. The culture of Venable is throw every one under the bus.
