I did.

Both do plenty of PE work. Simpson is lockstep and has centralized staffing plus no minimum billable requirement. Kirkland is free market and people get paid based on hours (and partners get paid based on business they bring in) so there is likely a more aggressive culture at K&E. You'll probably make more money at K&E but the trade-off is that there you'll always feel pressure when it's slow. At Simpson you'll have an easier time enjoying the slow periods because you aren't leaving money on the table by not billing and you aren't ever looking for your own work. Both styles work for different people.

For those of you that have offers thus far, how long was it between your offer and receiving anything official via email/ snail mail from recruiting? I received my offer via phone call on Saturday, yet don't want to cancel others until I have something official. Thank you.

Kirkland pays bonus based on a combination of hours and merit. It weighs heavily towards merit after a certain hours threshold. They are very nice bonuses (significantly increasing your income, particularly at the more senior associate ranks), and slow times are not usually held against associates.

Also, did anyone else's offer letter contain a final paragraph about being an employee at will? Put me on edge a little bit, but I'm in love with the firm. Is this a "cold offer" for a summer position? (Not sure why such a thing would exist, I'm probably being paranoid).

What? When did you interview?

this was in their offer letter last year (rising 3L who spent this past summer there). don't think anything of it. shows up again in the full-time offer letter as well haha.
