I'm curious to know the vibe/reputation of the main Houston lit boutique firms. I don't mind high workload/billables so long as the work gives substantive trial experience, but I want to avoid shops that have a (excessively) toxic/cliquish work environment. I'd also like to make a long-term career at wherever I end up. I'm current looking at AZA, Gibbs, Yetter, Steptoe (formerly SKV), and Beck. Any insight?

AZA has a rep as a toxic and overbearing workplace.

Oh really?

If you can get a job at G&B, you should take it. Fantastic firm with extraordinarily generous partners.

My co-clerk had some Steptoe experience and it sounded like everything you are trying to avoid. It wasn't a Texas office though, and I don't know whether you'd experience similar issues wherever you're looking.
