Re: Wilson Sonsini (WSGR) Silicon Valley v. Gunderson SV
Didn't know that Gunderson was known for great culture.. I've heard mostly the opposite. Maybe this is an east-coast west-coast thing.

Re: Wilson Sonsini (WSGR) Silicon Valley v. Gunderson SV
I'd say you've hit it on the head as far as the differences. GD was a serious contender for me but I really didn't like WSGR. Great work (as far as clients), pretty awful work environment.Anonymous User wrote:Any thoughts on WIlson Sonsini vs. Gunderson Dettmer? Sounds like Wilson has a stronger name but a tough culture. Gunderson, on the other hand, has a reputation for being an excellent firm with a fantastic culture.
A slight plus goes to Wilson as well because of its breadth of practice areas besides only VC/Startup work.
Any thoughts or additional considerations appreciated.

Re: Wilson Sonsini (WSGR) Silicon Valley v. Gunderson SV
WSGR = K&E here w/o the bonuses, but big tech for clients. Are you prepared for that?

Re: Wilson Sonsini (WSGR) Silicon Valley v. Gunderson SV
Basically right. I know someone who went from WSGR to GD and felt the same as you re: culture. The people there are very friendly and I think that the office seems pretty chill. I don't know if this is a California or SV thing, but it was awesome to see so many people working out at the gym during work hours--not that they are slacking off, but it seems that firm employee health and wellness is a value of the firm.Anonymous User wrote:Any thoughts on WIlson Sonsini vs. Gunderson Dettmer?

Re: Wilson Sonsini (WSGR) Silicon Valley v. Gunderson SV
I really think it depends on the type of person you are. I've heard Gunderson has a frat boy culture...
