Intense environment but great learning and growth opportunities - Manager Brown Rudnick LLP Employee Review

Firm is relatively small, and you can get a lot of direct experience that would otherwise be unavailable.

Management is opaque, and toxicity and favoritism are rampant in NY office. The firm is also prone to surprising associates with unexpected responsibilities, and operates at the mercy of a handful of smart, but mercurial, narcissistic, and abusive, partners.

Offices have been renovated recently. People are mostly nice. Diversity and inclusion is a priority. Summer Fridays.

Culture has been getting progressively worse for years due to management changes. The People and Finance teams are a disaster. Management is set on change for the sake of change. Employees have been shown progressively less respect. Firm keeps saying it’s doing well, but they don’t invest in their people, only the offices. Constant departures make tasks difficult to complete. Firm has been offering fewer holidays each year.
