Next time the Vault survey comes around, don’t forget to take into account that P,W and Skadden bent over and spread their cheeks (Skadden even before they were asked to). They should lose at least 50 places in the ranking. They spineless and rolled over instead of standing up to what they pretended to believe in. Don’t give the nazi-lawyers further credibility, let alone “prestige”.

Nope, this is the biglaw bowl where former biglaw firms get called out for losing their status due to a lack of morals.

Ranking them higher because they showed they are committed to running a business. This is not a ranking of your favorite political action groups.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.

I'm at wits end guys. After spending the past 2 years producing and learning new skills in the gaming industry. I'm completely unable to find work.
I have 8+ years of experience as a full stack web developer with a strong set of design skills having begun my career in User Experience Design. Now with the last two years I've added game production in Unity, C#, 3D modeling and animation, level design, narrative design, and asset management to my skillset. I'm unable to support myself.

I am on partnership track. However a few partners I work with started to act kind of cold lately. It is hard to put it on words. But this is getting harder as it hurts my feelings. I sort of feel left alone. It is like I am in a war to get what I want. Has anyone gone through similar experience during their partnership track? Any suggestions?
