Pros:
The original Robinson Silverman crew is especially bad. The original Bryan Cave crew is much better to work with. Figure out who is who.
Cons:
I previously worked here as a junior associate in the New York office. You will only be treated well if you look like them and worship like them.
My advice to associates is to save your money and upon the anniversary of your second year start applying to bigger and better firms. Use this place as a stepping stone.
Partners to Avoid and Why:

Pros:
5.Current EmployeeSmart Company to Work ForAnonymous Employee RecommendProsSurvivability and people first; they have a culture of evaluating and finding the pulse of the market and are able to quickly adapt, especially during an economic crisis. Instead of mass layoffs, they temporarily trim partner and staff pay and salaries as a precaution until adaptation stabilizes. This is why they have been in business for over 100 years and have very little job turnover.ConsNone that I can see at my level with the company.
