SURVEY SAYS


Associate Life
Vault’s Verdict: Complaints range from too much work to too little, but the exaltations ring truer: great responsibilities, respectful colleagues, and a cohesive, cooperative environment.

 

Satisfaction:
• “People here are looking out for me and always pushing me to take on greater responsibilities. At the same time, I never feel like I'm being sent off into the wilderness without guidance. I've definitely gone through some periods of working crazy hard. But it's been worth it for the experience.” –Junior associate
• “I get great work experience and rarely have to look for hours. The comp is market and benefits are above market.” –D.C. associate
• “The only thing making me unsatisfied right now is worry about whether there is enough work. I don't know if that's any different with any other job out there.” –Litigator

Getting Hired

Tips from the inside


At Bingham McCutchen, the hiring committee seeks, “individuals of the highest academic caliber, but who also have the interpersonal skills to thrive in a working environment where many of the attorneys are also friends,” says a San Francisco litigator. Associates agree that, “smart, ambitious, and personable,” candidates from “top tier law schools,” have a great shot at landing an offer.  One Bingham litigator advises that even if your alma mater isn’t HLS, you could be in the running for an offer because ,”the firm does a lot of hiring from law schools in the cities where it has offices that may not be top tier.”
