Fried Frank SURVEY SAYS


OUR SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: Some associates are put off by what they see as arbitrary deadlines and an emphasis on face-time, but an upbeat atmosphere of constant learning and recent moves to make the compensation system more transparent have many singing Fried Frank’s praises.

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “Certain aspects of my firm's practice make the tough times more rewarding and ultimately lead to greater job satisfaction. If I had to put in the same hours for lower profile deals and clients, or do the same thing day in and day, out I'd have thrown in the towel by now. Thankfully Fried Frank provides the variety and challenges that keep me going. The work is extremely interesting and you are taught a tremendous amount as a junior associate.”
• “I am satisfied with the work that I do, and the opportunities presented to me. However, my job does not allow me to strike a healthy work/life balance.”
• “I love the work and respect my boss; however, the on-call nature of the job and the incessant emails at all hours drive me nuts.”
• “Work is fulfilling—if at times intense and overwhelming.”
