Hi all, I am in the interview process with Ellenoff Grossman & Schole and curious if anyone has any insight into the firm. I am aware of the publicly available information (very active SPAC practice etc.), but looking for information on culture, billable hours, salary scale etc. I have found limited information on H1B websites but the numbers appear all over the place and very little information out there otherwise.

Any information would be much appreciated!

Bump once in case anyone sees this. Thanks!

When I was interviewing for a lateral gig with them ~4 years ago, their offer was $160K as a fourth year, no stated billable minimum, no real guidance for bonuses target. So definitely a fair bit below market, at least back then; unclear if the SPAC boom (which they were a clear front runner on) made them a bigger player.

Thanks for the info...very helpful

Bump on this in case anyone has any more information on firm culture etc. Considering a pending offer and weary of switching if it's a churn mill.

Thank you!

i don't work there (or know anyone that does) but they do a lot of shitty deals (e.g., overnight deals, block trades, pipes, etc) in the cap markets space which usually require pushing a lot of paper in a tight timeframe to execute. that said, their approach to emails/calls suggests there's still some work-life balance at the firm. i am also usually corresponding with partners on matters which makes me think they don't push work down to associates or they don't have enough - neither of which bodes particularly well.

Thanks that’s helpful. I’ve been gathering bits and pieces of info and what you said and matches up with a lot of that, which makes me very weary no matter the $$. Thanks again!
