Brown Rudnick LLP

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Everything, not sure it can be changed.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Nice offices. That's it.

What did you not like about this institution?
They do not pay market salaries or bonuses despite claiming to do so. The leadership is rotten and partners are not interested in anything or anyone but themselves.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
Don't work here if you want to be paid fairly.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Putting aside its questionable clientele... pay your attorneys and staff properly. At least be honest about what you're paying them.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
I think management would serve the firm well if it worked on retaining its employees. There's quite a bit of uncertainty and disorientation from all the people coming and going.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
With hundreds of top class lawyers and humongous clients, the firm is one of the greatest places to really excel in the large scale law world.

What did you not like about this institution?
The turnover can get a bit jarring. It seems like every other day there's a bunch of associates who have left and a bunch who have just joined.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Think about giving raises more often, even though the starting salary is pretty good. Bring on some more support staff and pay them well to prevent shortages and turn over in that department.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Benefits and pay are very competitive at this law firm. If you like to travel there is plenty of opportunity here because of all their international clientele, especially in the UK. The technology here is the forefront of the profession as well, and they are very community oriented supporting many programs.

What did you not like about this institution?
The hours are long and the work is strenuous. It's a very high pressure place to work and a very competitive environment. If you're a team work type person this is not the place for you.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
The firm needs to strike a balance with the workload present here. At the time it was difficult to balance work and outside of work activities because of the demanding atmosphere that is present at this firm.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
The experience to be had here is rewarding. I've had the pleasure of working with a great team here that pushes you to through and through in this field. All the while, the firm is accommodating with spacious work offices, competitive salaries, and great communication. I've met many attorneys here whose guidance has resonated throughout my career.

What did you not like about this institution?
Work hours are long and draining. It is difficult to find a balance between work and life because of this. The work that passes in and out of this firm demanding.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Really need to do something about the declining firm culture

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Associates here get more hands-on experience than associates at some of the mega big-law firms. Most cases are leanly-staffed which allows for these types of experiences.

What did you not like about this institution?
Take away the above selling points which are really not that unique and Brown Rudnick has little to offer. Associates fluctuate between having too much work or not enough work. The firm struggled post-COVID and it has ravaged morale and the firm culture. BR prides itself as a "sink or swim" type place which doesn't help morale, especially when the reality is that BR lacks the resources to ensure attorneys grow with the firm. It may be a fine place to start for a few years but I would look elsewhere for a long-term landing spot.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Do your job, you scandal mongers. Stop hiring “experts” who force 6 hour interrogations of people. Don’t take cases from bad actors who only want petty revenge instead of a fair and impartial trial.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
They will drag a defendant through Hell to make a client who has previously been found guilty of 12 counts of Domestic Violence look like a golden god to creepy incels and the Men’s Rights Activists they cater to.

What did you not like about this institution?
They refuse to pay any attention to the meat of a case, wanting to devolve law into petty drama decided in the court of public opinion. They cannot work a case, they only obstruct the truth and shift blame. They use disgusting legal tactics that should worry any potential clients.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
All of them. Leadership is rotten from the top down.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
They sure know how to work the media and drum up sexist trolls for a client that the worst men are seeing as a paradigm of misogyny and women, worldwide, see as someone who cannot be trusted nor take responsibility for himself.
