Pros

The culture is top notch at Crown, couldn't ask for better people to work with at Crown. Scheduling and hours are flexible for interns, contractors, and employees. I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects in the legal department - from lobbying to corporate compliance, to SEC filings and proxy statements. I have been treated with respect and people have gone out of their way to be nice and helpful. Employees and supervisors have been a great help with job-seeking. I would 100% stay if something were to open up. Research projects and other substantive work can be highly rewarding. Legal interns can expect to work on high profile projects from time to time. No one is hanging over your shoulder to get things done - it is evident that they trust their people and that mentality comes from the top.

Cons

Interns, while treated well, are not seen as future employees and very little efforts are made to employ them after graduation (for undergraduates) or the bar exam (for law students). Pay is not competitive ($18.50 for legal interns. $13 for regular interns) for similar jobs and is incongruous with the GPA requirements they demand, particularly when there is no job at the end. Work can on occasion be administrative minutiae because of the sheer volume of matters the legal department has to deal with, but I suppose this is a fact of life. Can sometimes feel very 'corporatey' and hierarchical despite the positive culture.

Thank you so much for your insightful review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences. We’re so happy you feel welcome, respected, and accommodated here – we love our culture as well. Though we know there’s always more we can do to build a consistently great employee experience across our whole business. We are glad that you enjoyed the majority of your internship at Crown Castle. However, we are disappointed that all of your experience was not what you wanted it to be. We are always examining our salary and hiring requirements, and we will continue to do so for legal interns. We’ve shared your comments with our senior team in Legal, so that we can use them to continue to improve. We appreciate the openness and candor of your feedback and hope that you will continue to share your views with us via our intranet or during one of our regular Company Conversations.

Thank you for your review. Thank you for your comments on the quality of our people and their collaborative nature. Our B3 values are what makes our culture so great here at Crown. Our Smart & Fast mindset is grounded in that culture, and is there to help ensure can move quickly by making smart decisions that help our customers. We’re sorry you feel that we weren’t communicating the vision and values of our company enough. That’s the main purpose of the regular Company Conversations that we started in 2018, but we’ll take a look at the agenda for the next session to ensure that it addresses your feedback. We appreciate you giving us direct examples of areas to focus on in our development and wish you success in your future career.
