Pros

The attorneys and staff are nice to work with.

Cons

Huge discrepancy of what attorneys are allowed to do vs staff. Attorneys can come to work and leave at any time but staff has to have defined hours. Have to accrue benefits before using them or will not be paid for time off. No assistance with cost of parking. Do not get 3 weeks off until you've worked at HB for 6 years.

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.
