Intern Reviews
- “The firm was very busy during my internship, but management made an effort to make sure there was a good work/life balance throughout the summer. They encouraged us to participate in activities outside of billable work and explore the city.”
- “The firm is protective of work/life balance for the summer interns. 40-45-hour weeks are common, but hours beyond that are rare. Even with longer hours, the firm helps out by compensating for meals and providing breakfast daily and lunch frequently.”
- “We were required to work 40 hours and were compensated overtime for any additional hours we did. As a summer, you are encouraged to have a good work/life balance and not stay in the office past 5pm/6pm.”
- “I think Bates White does a great job prioritizing work/life balance. There were many outside-of-work opportunities to bond with my cohort and other employees.”
Getting Hired Here
- “Three rounds: traditional resume/cover letter submission, initial chat, super day. Super day consisted of multiple case interviews and multiple behavioral interviews as well.”
- “Everyone I interacted with during my interview process was incredibly kind. The case interviews are difficult but a good learning experience.”
- “The case interviews were challenging, but if you know economics, you'll find them to be very doable. All the interviewers were pleasant and professional.”
- “The interviewers were really nice and friendly (definitely reflective of firm culture). The interviews were straightforward, with one first round interview and then a super day.”
