Haynes and Boone LLP

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
The leadership team should really do a better job communicating expectations to new associates. The "sink or swim" method they use now is not the best.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
The leadership team here does a fantastic job keeping this firm running like a dream. Everything is very efficient and the people here seem to enjoy what they do.

What did you not like about this institution?
The expectations for new associates are so high that many might find them unrealistic. These expectations don't seem to be accurately conveyed when associates are brought into the fold.

Ensure your staff is following up with customers and an absolute payment. If business for you is doing so well that you don't need my money...well then I am happy for you.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I attempted to contact Haynes and Boone in Dallas on multiple occasions to renew a patent and file 5 more patents and a Trademark. I sent 3 emails, I called 6 times and left messages 4 of the 6 times with my contact information. Since I never heard back from them, I went to their office and was "greeted" by 2 sarcastic employees at the front desk. I told them my intentions and gave them my contact information. After I expressed my intent one of their attitudes shifted slightly to a little more tolerable. I was told to wait in the lobby and someone would be with me soon. After maybe less than 5 minutes she informs me that I didn't have an appointment. I assured her that I was aware I didn't have one since no one ever bothered to reach out to me and wanted to schedule one. She then says I had to leave since I didn't have an appointment.... I requested someone reach out to me to set an appointment and she asks for my contact information. I told her to look in her left hand...where she had already written it down. Sarcastically she says, "aight". This was on May 5, 2022....today is June 1, 2022 and I have yet to hear from anyone.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Give prospective applicants the courtesy of a reply. It only takes a minute to send an e-mail.

What did you not like about this institution?
My son had several interviews for a position, and a clean background check. He followed up multiple times with the in-house recruiter and a partner regarding the status of the potential offer. After e-mailing a partner, the recruiter e-mailed that they expected their decision in the next few days. That was 3 weeks ago. He followed up again by voicemail and email, and no courtesy of a response. Do they treat their clients this way? Very unprofessional.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Managing Partner for Austin office Adam Sencenbaugh should look into the Admins treatment of staff especially male employees.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Nothing

What did you not like about this institution?
Secretaries and the office Administrator constantly belittle male employees and have very high turnover of staff in the Austin office. I was hired as a practice assistant I never did any secretarial work never received any training on the job I was hired for. I did basic administrative work until they hired someone else through a third party because they don’t have to pay them benefits, unemployment etc. Firm is struggling with cost and with their upcoming move a lot of staff will get cut. Employees pay for parking I paid 185 a month.
