Pros

There are some smart talented people at Seyfarth. The firm is trying to do some interesting innovative things with client billing to try to depart from the hourly rate.

Cons

The only thing management cares about is how big anyone's book of business is, but, at the same time, makes it very hard for attorneys to build that book. A lot of those smart talented people I mentioned in my pro column have been run out of the firm for greener pastures. I'm quite shocked that it has won any accolades as a great place for women to work, since, outside of the labor and employment practice, the firm is hemorrhaging female lawyers.

Pros

GREAT atmosphere in the Sac office. Everyone is congenial, polite, and friendly. Great pay and atmosphere.

Cons

Very stern on 3 days in office policy, even if staff is sick. Also PTO and sick time are in the same bucket.
