Formalizing a training program would be of great benefit to this firm. I wish the partners would be more accessible and transparent, as well.

The best thing about working here is the support staff. They are incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, and great at their jobs. It's amazing how much you can get done with expert support staff. The office equipment is also very nice.

Partners are not very accessible to new associates and it's not always clear what steps need to be taken to advance within the firm. The training program could use work.

Unfortunately, this firm tends to have long hours most of the time, even during the holiday seasons. If you like working a lot of hours you won't mind, but if you do you will rarely see your friends and family.
