What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Nothing. Nazis are not to be liked or respected, only prosecuted when they enable atrocities and war crimes as this firm is.
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
I think the leadership team should really consider reducing the workload for associates. The work/life balance here is not the best and easing the pressure even a little would improve the quality of life for many associates.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
The best thing about working here is definitely the support staff. They are professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and great at what they do. This firm runs like a dream, and the support staff are the ones to thank.
What did you not like about this institution?
Working here is very demanding. The leadership team has very high expectations for associates and support staff, and they put incredible pressure on associates to deliver results. The end result is a very profitable firm where everyone spends a lot of late nights at the office.

Too much drama. I felt as though there was always gossip going around during work hours and it was very distracting and unprofessional. I also worked with a few new attorneys that I thought were extremely unprofessional.
