Current Employee Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
Everyone needs a job, and nobody wants to be scared of losing the one they have. Leadership should be more transparent about things when they let someone go.

Pros:
There are a lot of smart lawyers walking around in this firm, so it's a great place for new associates to learn. Partners are pretty accessible and everyone is generally supportive and willing to help out.

Cons:
There seems to be a general consensus that the job stability here is not good. Many people live in constant fear of being downsized. I've seen it happen a few times, but I'm not sure why.

Advice to law firm management:
Learn to treat everyone as equals and show some respect to the new people. Not everyone can be at the same level, and you were there once yourself.
