Pros

The majority of the staff, both lawyers and non-lawyers, are relatively easy to work with.

Cons

They do not recognize good staff. They tend to listen to and promote the less intelligent. This is especially in the accounting area. They recently got an excellent professional resource in accounting. This is new. She is the best I have seen since I have been here. Many others agree. The whole environment had a positive change. I hear she is leaving. This is not good.

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.
