Knobbe Martens - Reviews
See reviews for Knobbe Martens from attorneys and other legal professionals below.
High Quality work, Pleasant work environment on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
More feedback and open communication with Jr associates besides the one review day per year. Many have no idea if they are performing up to par. Some will understand that "no news is good news" (maybe) but many are looking to know for sure if they are doing well or need to improve.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Amazing depth of knowledge on all things IP law, great place to learn. Most partners are great to work with, have only encountered two that were less than great but still tolerable - i.e. pretty much the norm for any place of work. Flexible work schedule. The "billed" hour requirement is awesome, and allows for great life-work balance. First years are given reduced quota to account for lower efficiency. Staff and admin are awesome too.
What did you not like about this institution?
As with any place of work, there are some people who are less fun to work with. For some, it can be a deal-breaker. Knobbe allows you to control who you work with, to some extent, so the problem can be avoidable. But some get stuck with the one or two problem partners.

Not many opportunities for advancement on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
This firm should appreciate its workers more and hire new management to take care of promotions and worker reviews. I also feel as though we could have used a few more attorney's to help out on more difficult cases.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I really enjoyed my stay at this firm and enjoyed the fact that it was only a 20 minute commute from my home. I also really enjoyed the interesting cases that I got to help out on.
What did you not like about this institution?
There is a real lack of advancement and progression in terms of upwards mobility at this firm. I talked to a few attorneys' that told me they were upset that they have not received a promotion in over 5 years.
