They call it "Ratner High" for a reason - Anonymous employee RatnerPrestia Employee Review

First, don't let the charming bravado of RP’s CEO or the original co-founder, not to mention the RP website, fool you. The firm’s marketing does not match reality, and competing firms are superior in terms of work sophistication, bench strength, and footprint. Certain individual attorneys in the firm defy this generalization, but they number only two or three. In addition, every member of the partnership hoards work. The firm culture appeared to encourage this bad behavior. The “management committee” works in the dark and could not easily be influenced by common sense business practices. The associate population is sparse and they work nearly exclusively for select partners. In addition, the juvenile politics amongst the administration, paralegals, and secretaries resulted in senseless inefficiencies.
