I would like to see management implement small groups that will take care of worker reviews on a more regular basis so that employees know where they stand in the firm.

I found the pay to be excellent. I also thought that there was great flexibility in terms of allowing how each individual deals with their client. Everyone was very friendly as well.

This is a big law firm and being a big law firm there it can be quite arduous to figure out where you stand in the firm when compared to everyone else. I found this is be a somewhat small flaw in the grand scheme of things though.

Be more attentive to employees that might need more guidance or clarification - some people are just more risk-adverse and don't like to take action without permission. Help them now so they can gain more confidence for the future.

Just about everyone is great to work with - the culture is excellent. There are lots of opportunities to learn and grow, and many positions have a lot of autonomy. Technology is pretty up to date.

Pay and benefits sometimes feel sub-par compared to working hours and local competitors' salaries. As good as it is that the firm gives people a lot of leeway, sometimes it does not seem like they provide enough guidance or direction to employees.

Coach and mentor the new associates early on so they can thrive. That would minimize any potential issues a new associate might run into I think. I found some micromanaging early on helped me.

Both the other lawyers and staff are great. I found the staff very helpful, and I could talk to the lawyers. I was expected to do my job with little management. I was rewarded highly for my own initiative in many instances.

For experienced associates like myself the minimal management is great. But it does hurt new associates. They need more guidance I have found before they can start taking their own initiative
