Cooley rejected my 2L app after previously offering me a 1L position + scholarship that I ultimately turned down. Is it possible that the recruiter and/or hc assumed I would turn them down again? I was very excited for the opportunity and had spent significant time networking to make up for my prior decision. Bummer overall.

Fair but unfortunate lol

Attorneys will move on and forget you existed the second you decline their job offer.

But HR remembers forever.

Not Cooley but I’d have turned you down too; we want people who want to be here and you’ve already demonstrated you don’t.

Or they’re just holding your previous decision against you

Why on Earth would anyone go to Cooley? Are you nuts? If you got a 1L job it’s not like yo Lu don’t have other options.

Every company has layoffs. It sucked, but the firm is top notch and from what I hear a great place to practice, in most offices.

Sounds like wherever you went for your 1L summer didn’t pan out.

Nonetheless appreciate the insight — recruiting seems like such a black box

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
