Pros

The team in my office that I specifically worked with day-to-day was fantastic!

Cons

The lawyers and department heads act like they are above everyone else. They will bully and harass you into accepting low wages with horrible benefits. And if you ever express how awful the working conditions are for staff members, they’ll try to buy your silence with a slightly higher salary or bonus. The way that a firm’s partners treat and speak to their staff members should be indicative of how awful it is to work there. If you ever accept a job at HB, don’t let the partners speak disrespectfully to you. Because they will if you don’t call them out on it.

Pros

Each office has its own culture but most have events pretty often and lunches provided all summer long. You are overworked doing things outside your JD but you can bring this as a pro to say it only adds to your resume.

Cons

If I could write a book about my HB experience, all the victims would come forward. Working in one of the departments where you see pretty much everything is saddening to know how much they are informed and do nothing about it. Mistreatment, sexism, sexual harassment, bullying is just the start of it. My experience left me with no other choice but to leave because I was harassed by my leadership about things that were not work related. I was discriminated against and the way my leadership spoke about the other leaders was very telling. There is zero moral and ethics in place at this firm. Work schedule is 4:1 with zero flexibility, say bye to your mental health.
