Wachtell Lipton Reviews

Pros

Wachtell Lipton is undoubted one of the most prestigious names in law. My time there led to other opportunities as well as a great work experience.

Cons

Most of the downside is the number of hours / volume of work there. My part time job had none of this, so there weren't many cons for me.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing what you're doing.

Pros

It's refreshing to work at a place where everyone is intelligent and competent at their job. Things run smoothly around here. In my department everyone is extremely helpful, and most everyone that I have encountered has been nice, even though I am only an intern. One of the lawyers even sat down with me and discussed my law school applications and gave me some amazing advice. Everyone is extremely surpportive. I feel lucky because many of my friends who have internships are not given the types of responsibilities that I am. For example, I do not spend all day making photocopies for people and getting coffee!

Cons

As an intern, I think it's difficult for me to give a completely accurate review. But, personally, I love my job and do not see any downsides. I guess one thing that disappointed me was that even though my title is intern, I was not invited to participate in the formal intern activities when the summer interns are here. They were able to go to programming about resumes and job interviews, as well as social activities. I think they must have forgotten me because I'm more of a part-time employee than an "intern" but I felt left out and I think I would have been able to benefit from the programming.

Advice to Senior Management

They redid the review process and now have semi-annual reviews which are extremely helpful.
