Toxic. The most "personable" associates they sent to my T14 OCI were very unpleasant.
How is Cravath V1 when it’s also a miserable place to work?
They’re a good proxy for prestige, especially wrt NYC transactional. The issue is that law students take rankings way too literally and think they must work at #11 over #19.ExpOriental wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 2:11 pmGuys I'm starting to think these Firsthand rankings might not be everything they were cracked up to be
I work at Paul Hastings (non-NY office, non-corporate) and I've found it a pretty good place to work, at least compared to the impression I get of other Biglaw firms. I definitely understand the high ratings we get for work-life balance, if the complaints I see on TLS are anywhere close to representative of what it's like to work elsewhere in Biglaw. I'm sincerely sorry our NY associates left such a bad impression on one of the posters above, and I'm confident my colleagues in my office - at least from any of the groups I've worked with - would not do the same. I've also worked closely with colleagues based in other offices around the world, and while I do not know most of them as well on a personal level, it would surprise me to hear that any of them had been viewed as toxic, even in a fleeting recruitment encounter.
