Pros

Overall higher pay rate but not worth your sanity and health. Working at Bilzin Sumberg will make you sick if you last long enough. Do yourself a favor and stay away.

Cons

Very low employee morale especially in staff positions. Workforce is highly expendable and segregated by “class”: attorneys are aristocrats and non-attorneys are peasants. EVERYTHING is micromanaged and nitpicked (ad nauseam) by Michelle R. Weber to a level of neurosis and harassment.

Pros

Competitive salaries, in some cases above average. Promotes charity and community involvement.

Cons

High turn-over rate, falls into a continuous hire-and-fire culture which includes elimination of very capable, extremely talented and hard working attorneys and staff. Poor and extremely negative company culture, to the point of toxicity. Leadership, vision and positivity is supposed to be promoted from the top, instead the firm does not have effective leaders or management, rules by fear/subversion and elimination of top talent while retaining ineffective management that inspires no one. Top heavy untalented and poor management that promotes job stagnation and box mentality. HR has 0 interest in in discussing what future goals are, strengths and accomplishments, where you shine and things that should could be improved upon. Instead work performance is judged by co-worker supplied subjective form reviews, so you better not make anyone angry or you will be terminated.

Pros

I don’t have anything positive to say about this place.

Cons

Everyone that works here has been there 10+ years and they are all very clicky. The chain of command is a joke, if your manager doesn’t like you they fire you in an instant. They gamble with your life and don’t care one bit about it.
