Nixon Peabody SURVEY SAYS


OUR SURVEY SAYS

Vault’s Verdict: Associates at Nixon Peabody love just about everything about working there—except slightly below-market pay. But for most, being on the lower end of BigLaw salary ranges is worth the work/life balance the firm allows and the highly rated culture.

Associate Life

Satisfaction
• “You know how firms talk about how they're great places to work and that they cultivate a good working environment that promotes a healthy lifestyle and good work/life balance? I can honestly say that my experience at Nixon has included all of those things. The people are gifted but down to earth. There is a great deal of associate/partner interaction and open dialogue is encouraged.”
• “Nixon seems to be a leader when it comes to several aspects: diversity, training, associate responsibility, and a general team spirit attitude. The only real downsides to NP are the bonuses and pay, which are somewhat below market and seem to be applied arbitrarily to associates.” 
• “I'm happy in my job. It's difficult to be a first-year and not know what you're doing and I wish I had more personal time, but I suppose that's to be expected.”
• “I believe more senior attorneys are really interested in training and developing my skill sets. I like the vast majority of my co-workers and feel there is a healthy work/life balance. There are certainly plenty of nights where I have to stay late, but when I really need time off the firm is understanding, and the majority of nights I get to spend relaxing at home, not in the office.”
