Pros

Really nice offices, decent work space, smart and ambitious lawyers who work on interesting topics. Great for learning legal information in various practices. You will read, learn and interact with smart people who dedicate their lives to their work.

Cons

The firm acts warm, friendly and engaging throughout the interview process but don't let this facade fool you. Ultimately, Holland & Knight preaches on the value of open communication and employee growth but when the time comes for someone to have your back those who can make an impact disappear and the last man standing is the one who logged in the most hours, not the person who openly communicates or strives towards growth. Don't come to this firm if you seek an environment where leaders promote and mentor new leaders. Do come with a solid understanding of the industry and do not expect hand holding. I recommend you have your "tough-act" down and get ready to work, work, work.
