- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Lateral associate from another big law firm. Ropes has better work life balance than other big firms, especially for women attorneys - they have a better chance of advancing their career here than in most big firms, even after having a family. Much more collegial than most big firms. Much more pleasant work environment than other big firms.
Cons
Has billable hour requirement. Is a bit opaque on who will advance to partnership. Needs more minorities - although they are really trying.
