Dont work there but have heard overall great things about work-life balance and that there are no nasty or mean people. That’s been true from what I’ve heard in two south Florida offices. Hope that helps.

Take it with a grain of salt but I heard from a friend whose friend went there that they had bad work/life balance (but hey what’s new), that she had to work through The holidays, etc. that friend was in Labor & Employment practice group in SoCal, FWIW.

Depends on the practice group but I find they only care about hours and expect you to work late/weekends because we’ve all been there. People are generally good. Salary is competitive.

I was in a position of leadership before being demoted earlier this year. It wasn’t called that, but I was given a different role and they hired someone to take my spot. My boss has since expressed regret for this decision calling it hasty on his end

I had access to all the things I was managing for months into my new role and discovered when they hired 5 new entry level positions, all got 45k (women) except one, who got a 60k (1man). The 60k man works on my team and is sort of awful.
