Good Place to Work
What did you not like about this institution?
Not as collaborative of a work environment as I would like. People largelykeep to themselves and don't interact very much. I suppose that's just the kind of culture that thisfirm attracts. Introverts would fit in very well here.

Changing for the Worse on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Utilize all those non-attorney, non-billable managers you keep hiring to mitigate unproductive staff, instead of punishing everyone just to save a little money.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Exceptional practicing attorneys who are the best of the best, who treat colleagues at all levels with respect and appreciation.
What did you not like about this institution?
New HR leadership has changed the firm culture to one of mistrust and low morale among staff in less than one year. Apparently the leadership who enabled these changes believes staff are misreporting time and don't deserve to use their earned time off, in keeping with similar law firms' policies.
People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
The three middle-aged, straight, white males who call all the shots at this firm, because they don't care about people anymore (they used to). They don't practice law, so clients won't be exposed to them. If you are an employee, you will be affected by their punitive policies.
How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Practicing attorneys who bring in clients; dedicated and longtime, loyal staff colleagues.
