Left Manatt within the last year. Work life balance wasn’t there and I felt a warranted promotion was lagging.
Short of it is—great firm with a gold standard reputation, very deep bench of experts particularly in the Medicaid space, pay is good, cool coworkers. You’ll walk out of there being best in class — it was so easy to find another job and exceed expectations.
Cons are pretty insane hours. People take vacations but it’s easy to get burnt out and, depending on your level of importance you may be answering a lot of calls and e-mails while OOO. There used to be more of a balance when you’d roll off a project but with large state contracts you get redeployed quickly.
More details:
Your experience can differ quite drastically depending on who you’re staffed with, some “mean” leadership but in general I loved all the partners and found a lot of mentorship there.
WFH is reasonably flexible; the health practice wants you in a few days a week but if you go visit family or whatever you can be remote for a bit of time without asking. They are very unlikely to entertain new hires living outside of a commutable distance to the office unless you have some incredible experience or SME level expertise.
Unlimited vacation policy; doesn’t mean heaps of vacation it just means autonomy to plan your own time.
There are three routes people usually take. (1) realize very early on that it is NOT the place for you and leave within a year or two. (2) stick around and grow but decide you’re looking for something else, usually work life balance. (3) “Lifers” who stay for the interesting work and pay, a lot of parents also stay because they can’t afford to take a pay cut by leaving TBH.
Staffing at junior levels is handled by a “staffer” who pretty intimately knows everyone’s skill sets and the projects in the pipelines. As you get more senior and earn your stripes you end up getting your own projects with internal networking (ie you get requests from partners and plan around that).
Yes. What’s your question?
I’d say it’s a fantastic place to learn the healthcare market (albeit with a policy/provider bent), network, and personally/professionally develop. That being said, most folks pivot out after a few years. I’ve seen good/great exits all over the board (foundations, state, corporate, IT, payer, provider, data/analytics). I found most projects incredibly interesting and engaging. Smaller teams, multiple projects at once, and somewhat broad content areas means a lot of learning.
I’d recommend against it for those who aren’t very type A (less hand-holding than other firms, although the opportunities are there if you’re okay with cold outreach, etc). It’s a smaller shop with great SMEs (ex-Medicaid heads), but also suffers from lack of standardized controls and processes. Burnout is common and not talked about enough, imo. Can be political/bureaucratic depending on who you’re working with (given nature of some SMEs who’ve come over from the policy/corporate world). Hard to tell when your work might ebb and flow, but the ebb and flow of work is very real: I’d do 30 hours one week and 60 the next - this is essentially what ended up the final straw when I voiced I could not handle billing multiple the number of hours I was estimated for on one project and did not receive adequate response from upper management. The work is much more qualitative than it is quantitative. More strategic than implementation (with all its pros/cons that come with that as well).
Edit: Agree 10/10 with the director who replied below.
