Not a fan so excuse the negativity. They don’t pay big law dollars but work big law hours. Billable requirement is 2000 in ATL, not sure for Dallas. If you do negotiate a market salary, they will cap you at a certain point when it’s time for a raise. I think WFH is a hybrid approach, I can double check if that’s helpful but I believe differs for each office.

I can verify the above. They pay well below market for a big firm but require the same number of hours. Also, in addition to capping you on raises if you come in above what they prefer to pay, they WILL lower your salary if you don't meet your target (and they do not even tell you what that is, so it's pretty arbitrary). The firm has been very profitable and expanding at a fast pace but that is because they are very cheap and stingy with a lot of things (salaries, benefits, facilities, etc.). Many associates get automatically promoted to non-capital partner but that is mostly because this allows the firm to offload a lot of their expenses onto them since partners, even non-capital ones, have to shoulder a lot of their own expenses. This is a huge part of the reason why the firm has such a large partner to associate ratio. The other part is that many associates just get frustrated by the long hours for low pay and leave.
