What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Reduce the amount of red tape and improve communication from the home office. These changes would make this firm a great place to work.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
This firm is a great place to work. The partners, associates, and support staff are all knowledgeable and efficient, and everyone is easy to get along with.

What did you not like about this institution?
The bureaucracy here can be stifling. All decisions are subject to approval from the home office, and it's not always clear why certain decisions were made. Communication from the home office is poor and there is a tendency for things to get tied up in red tape.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Treat everyone fairly and equally, stop playing favorites. Stop client poaching and lying about compensation. Make litigators actually work for their pay instead of being supported by harder working patent prosecutors..

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Good selection of technology based clients (Visa), some good attorneys. Multiple locations. Interesting work in a variety of areas. Can be a good place to learn craft.

What did you not like about this institution?
The firm regularly funnels work (both new and existing clients, even those brought to the firm by others) to a few select "favorites" and takes advantage of everyone else. Client redistribution (formerly known as poaching) is rampant, as is rewarding favorites who do very little. Non-litigators are at a severe disadvantage even though they contribute the most.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
not willing to name names - don't feel comfortable singling anyone out. But, patent litigators from the SF office are likely to be overpaid and under-performing.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
interesting clients, some good attorneys, multiple locations, little else of a positive nature compared to other firms. reasonable but not great compensation
