“Very familial atmosphere. Many people eat lunch together and there are occasional happy hours. The firm holiday party and summer events are always very enjoyable.”
“I have always been treated as a respected professional. From early on in my career, I have been expected to substantively contribute to the firm's work, and my input has been valued. There is less hierarchy than I had expected—good ideas and good work are valued and used from where they originate. The members of the firm all get along well. There are several firm-sponsored events throughout the year, including a number during the summer with our summer clerks.”
Getting Hired Here
“The hiring process is quite competitive. The firm looks for outstanding candidates from top-tier schools. However, excellent candidates from lower-ranked schools are also considered. Technical backgrounds and personal skills are two of the most important attributes the firm considers.”
“Our firm values strong academic credentials, a strong scientific and technical background, and people who are personable and will be good team players.”
“Once a candidate is selected for an interview, the process is largely about making sure the fit is right for both sides. Interviewers will often try to gauge how well a candidate can communicate past research or technical material.”
