RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Ropes & Gray full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Great work-life balance and great firm to work for!
Cons
You’re the support side at a law firm so you’re undervalued and underpaid. A lot of red tape and little care for employee happiness (again this is definitely more apparent on the support side).
Advice to Management
Stop treating the support staff like they are so disposable.
