Does anyone know if Debevoise will have actual offices for first year/junior associates in their new Hudson Yards spot or are they going to the "open office" bullpen type? Also what is the office placement process like for firms that put juniors/first years in a bullpen? Do they ever get their own offices or does it move to shared offices, stay in the bullpen, etc?

I asked about the new office layout in a post-offer conversation. The firm is in the process of designing the layout/having meetings/getting feedback. The person I talked to suggested that the firm wasn't too keen on going with an open layout, but who knows what they'll ultimately do. I don't know anything about the office sharing situation.

That information used to be on the building website but they recently redesigned the site. They'll be on the upper floors (between 34 and 54), but I don't remember the exact floor nrs.

Does anyone know if they will ever open an SF office? seems so weird for a firm highly rated not to have an SF office.
