Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
This is an excellent firm staffed by smart and diligent attorneys. As a sixth-year associate, I had significant case responsibility and client contact appropriate to the contributions made to each matter. K&S is as good as it gets for a BigLaw firm, in my opinion.
Cons
Like all large law firms, the company expects a lot of work from you. With effort, it's possible to find helpful mentors and great experiences. A positive, hardworking attitude is a must.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Professional workplace, very few asks that were unreasonable, decent place to put one's head down and crank out work
Cons
Bureaucratic, partners unwilling to invest in growth of juniors, little connection between teams
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Fun. Good food. Windows. Doors. Ski
Cons
The food. Bob. Bad pens. Smells weird.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great people and income while waiting on bar results.
Cons
No path to advancement. Poor perks.
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The administration team is super supportive of their staff and do a great job of helping them do their best job.
Cons
The firm is growing super fast. This speaks volumes of how well they are doing, but also means there is an enormous amount of work to do and not always enough administrative help to get it all done.

Good benefits and comparable salary

Draconian style and approach, unclear growth path.
