&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Training &amp;amp; Assignments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I felt like the work I got during the rotational program really helped me to see what each group focuses on and how the deal teams are structured. It helped me decide my area of practice.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Summer associates were treated like regular associates in terms of responsibility and work levels, but there was always a first or second year to call.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I handled substantive assignments, especially on the pro bono side (which was great!), but generally it was easier assignments. I thought the experience was great nonetheless.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I received meaningful assignments and people took my contributions seriously during meetings.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

Summer Program Reviews

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Opportunities&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I summered in 2020, the first ‘Zoom summer.’ We had a great program and I was very impressed. There were multiple events each week, some for the whole summer class and others group-specific. We had goodies and activities sent to our homes so we could all still do things together. It was very well organized and friendly despite the challenge, especially since it was early in the Zoom-transition.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Attorneys at every level were invested in making us feel like we were a part of the firm, despite our summer program being entirely remote. We had opportunities to interact with everyone from first-year associates to partners in various practice area groups, in both small group settings and as part of larger events.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Social interactions were well attended, and I formed relationships that have really helped my career thus far. Returning to the firm with friends and mentors that I made over the summer was invaluable.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“My summer (summer 2019, pre-pandemic) was filled with social aspects, focusing on fostering a community both amongst the summer associates and between the summer associates and firm&#39;s attorneys. The firm did a terrific job, my summer class became very close, and we regularly keep up with each other.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Associate Experience vs. Summer Expectations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I found that the transition from summer associate to associate has been pretty typical—the work has become more in-depth and varied as a result of having more time with the group, and social events are less frequent (though I have mentoring events at least weekly).”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“There&#39;s nothing really surprising about the contrast between being a summer associate and a first year associate. The work is more challenging, the hours are more demanding, and you have a lot more responsibility—but that was expected and it&#39;s been good so far.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“While life as a junior associate is certainly different from the life of a summer, nobody hid the ball in that regard during my summer experience, and the reality has generally lined up with my expectations. I participated in the New York office&#39;s first-year transactional rotation, in which first years spend four months in three of the firm&#39;s seven transactional practice groups, and everyone in my class ended up being placed in their first-choice group. Although the firm can&#39;t make any guarantees in this regard, I understand that this is often the case, and in the rare cases where somebody doesn&#39;t get their first-choice group, they are basically guaranteed to get their second choice.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Favorite Summer Events&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;“I really enjoyed the Broadway Roulette event in which (among other things) we had members of the cast of Hamilton serenade us from their living rooms.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Milbank Summer Olympics.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Catalina Island day trip, Beverly Hills Cheese Shop tasting, concert at Hollywood Bowl!”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;“Cheese tasting and spring roll-making class.”&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
