Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “I generally like working at Katten. I'm [doing] top-notch, sophisticated work. The people are generally cordial. Like most associates at larger law firms, I do feel over-worked, but think that comes with the territory.”
• “Katten is a tough place to work at times. The hours can be long, and we are staffed very thinly. However, you can get excellent work early on and you can earn more than almost all of your peers if you put in the hours.”
• “The real reason I like my job so much is that I really love the people that I work with, which makes the job truly fulfilling. I feel lucky to be a part of such a smart, accomplished and cool group of attorneys, which in turn makes me even more motivated to contribute to the Katten litigation team.”
• “The quality of work is great. Still a bit slow because of the economy, so the pressure of hours brings satisfaction down a bit, but overall [I am] very satisfied.”
