Pros

Excellent benefits & opportunities for work experience. PTO/leave is very generous, along with all the holiday days the firm gives.

Cons

Micro-Management, Work Silos, Feedback/advice, is ignored entirely. There is almost no documentation, no training, no standards for how things are setup. What little there is, it is not followed or correct as it is outdated. The opportunity to advance your career is very limited as very little is invested back to those trying to make Orrick great using their specific skills.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
