Insurance group will overwork and underpay you. Expect 2000+ hours (or well over), less than $225k salary, and $5k bonus. Ok if you have no options but def go somewhere else if you can. Plus the former leader of the group was toxic and got fired for discrimination, which everyone knew about and didn’t do anything for 10+ years. There is a public lawsuit about it.

It’s been going on more than 10 years. I worked there about 15 years ago and he was doing his thing in all his awfulness. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE knew, but would joke around about it and if you expressed discomfort they would just tell stories about how this is nothing, he did xyz thing to this other person and THAT was way worse.

There are a some cool attorneys there. Overall, pay is mid-market nothing compared to Cravath scale, due to the fact you service insurer clients at billing rates that are a fraction of the billing rates of non-insurer clients. Basically, if your choice is between Cozen and insurance defense or some other mediocre practice or some mediocre unknown firm, then go w/ Cozen. But if you actually have the ability to get a “true” AmLaw100 job, do that instead.

Thanks for the insight! Bonus that low? Even if you bill 2400+ hours? But the discrimination may be an issue, I'm a minority too

Incorrect. Bonus structure at Cozen is the best for this type of work, far better than any comparable firm.

The salary range should be listed on the job posting. If you’re going through a recruiter they should be able to find out the info.
