Pros

Orrick provides opportunities to work on headline transactions with very smart, teamwork oriented lawyers. It's a place where everyone says "thank you".

Cons

The firm could offer more substantive training programs and resources. In recent years, efforts have been made to provide that programming. They won't hire enough associates.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
