"Plenty of work and guidance to complete tasks"
StarStarStarStarStarI have been working at Troutman Sanders full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
I enjoyed working at TS. The attorneys I worked with were willing to provide context and guidance so I could complete my work. I had plenty of work every day, which is good for me as I like to stay busy.
Cons
I didn't like the work environment. The team of assistants I worked with were ok but not willing to change. There also wasn't too many opportunities for me to interact outside of the practice group (i.e., employee resource groups).

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Troutman Sanders full-time
Pros
Good support staff and benefits
Cons
Disorganized HR department (too many people), good ole boys attitude, company motto isn't carried out by those in charge, will layoff long term employees instead of keeping them and moving them around, pay for support staff seems to be based on practice group instead of years of experience.
Advice to Management
Appreciate your staff more. Offer those that have been there longer incentives to keep them there instead of getting rid of them.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Troutman Sanders full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Attractive work environment, support staff and contractors
Cons
Management failure to disclose major corporate changes until they show up on social media or internet; integrity and honesty issues when dealing with employees; benefits leave a lot to be desired as not competitive with other firms of its size and reputation
Advice to Management
Supervise management of offices not within range of corporate headquarters to see what is really going on and assess productivity and ethical issues re attorney and professional staff billing requirements and practices

I have been working at Troutman Sanders full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Very laid back. The people are nice. Busy but not overly so.
Cons
You have to fight for yourself to get the salary you deserve. Some practice groups get more attention than others. Not really any room to grow.
