Vault's Scoop

Uppers

• “The people and the collegial working environment, the flexibility for work (i.e., working at home), and the interesting and complex cases.”
• “Relaxed culture. No one cares when you are in or not just so long as the work that needs to get done is getting done.”
• “Friendly people and interesting work.”

Downers

• “Long hours and inequitable compensation.”
• “The lack of visibility in decision-making and below-market compensation.”
• “Not enough work; not a friendly place overall; we get paid less than associates at other big firms; we don't have much responsibility.”

Miniature Goliath
With around 700 attorneys working at 17 offices in seven countries, the pithily-named Howrey has positioned itself as a junior Goliath, a Mini-Me version of the international megafirms like Baker & McKenzie and Allen & Overy.

SURVEY SAYS


Associate Life

Vault’s Verdict: Associates enjoy the social and collegiate work environment, there seems to be a strong emphasis of working hard and get the job done attitude which many associates like.

Satisfaction

• “Good people, good mentoring and excellent work. Great training.” -Washington D.C. associate
• “A good job is dependent on a good boss (and good colleagues). I have that, so I am satisfied. The hours, however, are not ideal. Thus, I cannot rate this as a 10.” -Intellectual Property associate
• “Some days I come to work and think I work with the best people at the best job in law; then the next I think I work for the worst kinds of maniacs.” -Junior associate
• “I have been given responsibility early, advanced ahead of my peers (approximately two years) and compensated accordingly. The firm has a “work hard/play hard” mindset. Also, the teams I work with are not tied up on “face time” and are interested in getting the job done.” -Intellectual Property associate
• “In a tumultuous market, many colleagues have been able to stay busy on billable work that is both interesting and offers opportunities to develop new skills. The myriad of unknowns about individualized compensation, the new "Tier 1" program, and often conflicting reports about the firm's finances are regular distractions.” -Palo Alto associate
