What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
The leadership team is doing a great job staying accessible to even the new associates at the firm. It's nice to see an open door policy that actually works.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
This is a great place for those looking to advance their careers. I've found the leadership team to be incredibly accessible and approachable, which is a breath of fresh air. Even new associates are given exposure to large, high-profile cases at a level that I haven't seen in corporate finance firms before.
What did you not like about this institution?
This is a very specialized firm, so those looking to be exposed to a wide variety of clients and cases probably won't be too happy here. Compensation for new associates could probably stand some adjustment, as well.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
I would like to see the senior attorneys take more risk and diversify. They should take on larger more interesting cases. I would also like to see them take on fewer cases as a whole while diversifying.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
The great attorneys at this firm taught me a lot as an intern. The work environment is fast paced with a lot of large cases and you will be forced to learn quickly, which I find to be a good thing.
What did you not like about this institution?
The senior attorneys seem stuck in their ways, and thus, don't expect much change from this firm if you start to work here. The work environment can be too fast paced at times.
