Was lucky enough to work exclusively with one partner there (he alone gave me 95% of my hours), and he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Unfortunately, he retired, but I still get lunch with him every weekend. So your experience might vary!

One observation she made was that the London office has plenty of people who’ve been with the firm for more than a decade, some even two. Most of them also never worked anywhere else. Def a good sign.

Some of the worst people I’ve met happened to have came from Jones Day. Take that for what it’s worth.

A friend works in their London office and couldn’t be happier. She says the people are brilliant and down to earth. Maybe the brit culture?

You get paid black box. Maybe Jones Day is the first corporate entity in history to ever discourage salary transparency and have it genuinely be for reasons of "collegiality," but if you think this is the most likely explanation, welllll...

It’s pretty sweat-shopy (at least in litigation), which isn’t worth it, imo, for the below-market comp. The people are generally very nice, however.
