Good firm, but not a good place for a long term career - Senior Associate Latham & Watkins Employee Review

Pros

Look, these are smart folks. It's a hell of franchise, a fairly well run place, and it's true that the culture is better than other places. Compensation was fair and my bonuses were generally above market. That said, I have to say that I came away with more cons than pros and my experience just left a bad taste in my mouth overall

Cons

where do I start? not enough career opportunities, backstabbing culture, cliquey culture that is based on which group you end up practicing with.

Pros

Competitive salary and some nice in office benefits

Cons

Absolutely no work-life balance; unrealistic expectations; very little room for growth unless you’re willing to work 18 hour days and weekends; senior management are truly micromanagers in every sense! Bonuses are subpar for the amount of revenue this office/firm generates. HR CANNOT be trusted!
