Stopped being blood suckers
Charging exorbitant fees especially from offices in Down Under
Do not give solutions for what it takes

Nothing
5.Current Employee, less than 1 yearLove this officeReceptionist in Minneapolis, MNRecommendProsThe team is very helpful, relaxed and productive. I love how organized everything this is and the people are terrificConsThere are slower days that can make things boring but for the mostpart the workflow is great.
None. I would be wasting my breath to try.
Nothing - literally nothing. if I could give zero stars I would.
Initially I thought the incredibly sexist and toxic work environment was specific to the Australian offices as they had failed to gain any momentum in the market. I realised it was a culture that came from the top in the US and got out as have many others. There are some really difficult partners and their appalling behaviour gets overlooked - even when lawyers/secretaries keep quitting because of it.
Nothing.
do some soul-searching
nothing
trying to help trump end our democracy
all of them
You suck
It has (had) a good reputation
Working here will suck your soul - it takes cases that are dubious, does not care about undermining democracy, contributes to strife - all in the name of our reputation, pandering to rich clients and partners' pay packets
Stop doing trumps dirty work!!!
Trying to help a tyrant stay in power
All

free food
Keep up the good work.
They are professional and winners.
Professionalism.
It's good that you have no morals and are making America the laughingstock of the world. It would be a good if there was any evidence, but cool.
They are very quick to file lawsuits without evidence. Great company if you have no legal claim.
They had a hard time actually succeeding in the courts without evidence. But at least they still managed to stain democracy and the judiciary system.
They work with bankrupt clients
Stop helping wannabe dictators destroy democracy.
Helping to destroy democracy one lawsuit at a time.
They have no morals.
remember your oath
they would do anything as long as you pay them
all of them. they have no ethics
none
Fire your baby man client like Americans just did
Grifters can grift!
They have put profits over the rule of law.
Anyone involved in frivolous election law suits
They have no location in my state
Drop Trump as your client. He will bring you down like the sinking ship he is and you won’t be able to draw new talent from the best schools.
I would not work here and anyone with a care for our Democracy who does should resign in protest.
They represent a traitor and psychopath, Donald J. Trump who, if you’ve forgotten who he is when you read this review, was a lawless and horrible president.
All of them
If you want a firm that represents child molesters, then Jones Day is for you.
Please stop destroying democracy
None, They have no problem undermining the election.
See above
nothing, total scum
Take a serious look at how your people engage in transactions. Jones Day should be an asset and work to complete transactions instead of insulting clients and preventing deals from getting done.
Haven's seen anything compelling
I have worked with quite a number of large law firms on M&A transactions over my career. I have never experienced anything like Jones Day. They consistently are the largest obstacle in completing the transaction. They are absolutely incapable of coming up with or responding to alternative ideas to work around the challenges they present. They take hard line positions and when confronted by actual law showing that they are incorrect, they show no humility, cannot seem to apologize for repeatedly getting things wrong, and seem do do nothing well beyond driving up billable hours. Quite possibly the worst behavior I have witnessed from their attorneys is actually disparaging their own client on calls with opposing counsel (saying that the client doesn't know what they are doing). These folks are the absolute worst.
Aarthi Belani, arrogant, insufferable, and incapable of negotiation. Lori Hellkamp, arrogant, frequently incorrect on matters of law, insults her own clients on conference calls
I got nothing
I'm aware the size of the firm means it has to operate in a certain way, but people should be treated more like individuals and less like cogs in a machine. People have to have time to recharge and have to be motivated by the realistic chance of promotion, and they also like to see their ideas for change put into motion.
Most staff and many attorneys are pleasant to work with. Job security is not much of a concern, nor is staying busy. Some perks are pretty good.
Few people are concerned with helping their subordinates maintain an appropriate work-life balance. Advancement can be difficult. Things are kind of slow to change in general.
Provide more opportunities for advancement within the firm. Show your workers that you value their hard work. Find ways to make the environment less stressful.
The firm has a high national reputation. The lawyers are some of the best in the industry. I enjoyed all the people I worked here. It is an enjoyable place to work at. The work was challenging at times.
It is hard to get a promotion at this firm, so don't expect to grow a career out of this. Expect to work a lot of long hours and dealing with stress.
Advice: The upper management really needs to listen to their staff and employees and not disregard them for having even the slightest of difference in opinion.
Is it worth working here for the big name?
If you're looking to have a life, look elsewhere. If you're looking to advance and grow, keep searching. The management here takes no advice or concern for their staff members. I tend to be a shier person; If you're more on the quiet side, you're considered an "outsider" and are shamed and penalized for it. The long grueling hours with subpar benefits don't help their case either.
Thank you.
