STB culture?
I hear Simpson is one of the "nice" firms -- what does this mean? Any insight into STB's culture?

It doesn't mean you'll work less or less is expected but there's no shouting. A genteel environment I believe they call it. If you like that then it's a nice thing. Some like more of a fraternity environment.

It means it's more "collegial" than say at Cravath where the culture is more formal and businesslike because it's a blueblood.

Re: STB culture?
STB is fratty but not in the same almost-invasive way Skadden can be fratty. It's a "nice" firm but that can equal being passive-aggressive.
STB, like DPW, also seems to have a thing for the lookers among us. If you're not on LR, you're basically required to be both social and good-looking to receive an offer.

Why, thank you for thinking I'm so good looking.
It's my personal opinion that DPW oozes passive-aggressive while STB not so much.
