Pros

Venable is a reputable firm with many wonderful partners and is a leader in many of its practice group areas. This allows for the opportunity to gain exposure to interesting client work at a fast paced environment for competitive pay.

Cons

The culture is toxic and anyone who is at the associate or paralegal or analyst level, particularly doing non-legal or consulting work, is in for a thankless time of long hours, questionable treatment of employees, HR issues that get explained away or swept under the rug, and ultimately anyone who is talented or motivated enough to land a job here deserves to be somewhere else.

Great culture but beware

Business Outlook

Pros

Tight knit groups, substantial work experience, reasonable hours.

Cons

In some litigation groups across NY and DC, they are doing layoffs for “performance related” reasons but the speculation is that they are stealth. Also below market pay that isn’t changing anytime soon.
