Holland & Knight reviews

Lower to mid-level management needs to realize that experience, intelligence and work ethic count. Unfortunately, managers are promoted with little experience and even less intelligence. Bullying and bravado in place of actual skill is common, to a laughable degree. Training is non-existent. Poor communication (or lack thereof) is consistent. Bad vibes abound, and bad-mouthing is rampant. Organizational structure is counter-intuitive, bordering on nonsensical. If you're an honest, intelligent, hard-working employee, don't expect to enjoy your tenure. If you know your craft and have a track record of success, you'd be much better served in another place of employment. Senior management and directors stay hidden in the shadows.

Where do I begin? The culture varies by manager/department, some are great, some terrible. No consistent leadership practices If you're not an attorney you don't matter The top HR leaders are completely unapproachable and judgmental Certain high level leaders talk down to people and obviously feel superior The firm wants to have an employer of choice reputation but does not want to do what's necessary to earn that Little recognition except during "employee appreciation week"
