      Sidley Austin - prestigious but diversity not taken as seriously as advertised

      Attorney, 1st-year
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The law firm is very prestigious and it pays an excellent salary to young associates.

      Cons

      The company touts diversity as an issue that sets it apart from the competition. Internally, however, diversity is not embraced and the company continuously fails to put meaningful effort in ensuring that minority associates are treated equally.
