Pros

The offices are nice, that's about it.

Cons

The new firm leadership has systematically destroyed what was once a positive work environment. They have cultivated a toxic, divisive culture characterized by favoritism, backstabbing, and cliquish behavior. This isn’t limited to business professionals—attorneys are equally affected, as evidenced by the wave of mass departures. When employees with 10+ years of tenure are leaving and speaking openly about how unbearable conditions have become, that speaks volumes. Management appears to employ deliberate tactics to force people out rather than addressing them directly, making the workplace increasingly hostile. There's no room for growth and I strongly advise prospective employees to look elsewhere.

Great environment to work in with a team of genuinely nice and supportive people. Everyone treats each other with respect, and there’s a strong sense of kindness and collaboration throughout the workplace. It makes coming to work enjoyable and creates a positive, welcoming atmosphere.

Cons

It would be nice to get to travel to different offices more.

Pros

Firm is relatively small, and you can get a lot of direct experience that would otherwise be unavailable.

Cons

Management is opaque, and toxicity and favoritism are rampant in NY office. The firm is also prone to surprising associates with unexpected responsibilities, and operates at the mercy of a handful of smart, but mercurial, narcissistic, and abusive, partners.
