Pros

Good office location and decent work hours. Some nice senior partners, paralegals and assistants in the office.

Cons

The Newark office functions like a bunch of good old boys. Mostly men who joined from another law firm last year. If you are not part of the group, you are outside of their inner circle. Subtle back stabbing to those outside of the circle. I was verbally humiliated and sexually assaulted by one associate who discreetly groped me and pretended nothing was ever happened. I felt I was silently marginalized and humiliated.

Pros

it’s a job and a paycheck. Quality of work and life depends on office location.

Cons

The New York office sees many people come and go, because they do not value their employees. I’ve seen new attorneys leave after a couple days because the environment here is so… bad. A few kind people here but the ones who ‘matter’ will treat you as if you are beneath them. The attorneys don’t care for you, stingy resources, there is no training, there is a lot of drama and negative energy. there is an employee here who will track when you come and go from break, blame you for mistakes, it’s terrible. Take the risk if you want.
