Pros
Fantastic benefits Great office space Generally friendly environment on the surface of things Technology roles here are relatively comfortable
Cons
Received very little in the way of assistance in growth opportunities, despite lobbying ideas for projects, process improvements and streamlining, etc. The manager I dealt with most often came off as quite detached in my experience, not wanting to get involved in things beyond what was minimally necessary. If learning is part of your goal, this is not a place I would recommend to do that. Career progression opportunities are few and far between within this office, and this was stated as fact relatively often. If you start in a role here, you should expect that almost any advancement opportunities will require you to look outside the company, or at the very least require you to be willing to move to another city/office. Despite often hearing about the strong culture here, my experience revealed it to be far less than what was described. In my experience, technology jobs here usually pay below other competitive firms in the same city; although it was stated that the salaries offered were "market rate" any cursory amount of job searching revealed otherwise.
After 3 months I finally saw a job posting that really excited me! The role closely aligns with my career aspirations and skills. The job application process is brutal and I’m apprehensive about applying w/o any connections. Any attorneys at Latham & Watkins willing to connect with me? Added bonus you’re in the Diversity & Inclusion department. I am happy to provide updated resume.
