Intern Reviews
- “A work/life balance was heavily emphasized immediately when I started my internship. I have been encouraged throughout to ask for help when needed and only take on projects I am certain I have the time and energy to manage. Most staff and managers role-model a healthy work/life balance and openly discuss when they are feeling overwhelmed by their workload and how the team can support each other to timely complete assignments and avoid burnout.”
- “The firm culture at my specific location was exceptional. There was a great attitude, and during weeks of deadlines, there was always a positive and encouraging push. The work hours were fair and the flexibility, as an intern, exceeded my expectations.”
- “As an intern, I could only work 40 hours a week. With that said, I know when I start full-time that my hours will be lengthened a bit, but I still was able to get a great experience. There is a good work-life balance, a culture that aligns well with my beliefs, and nice flexibility.”
- “My office was extremely accepting of me and everyone was very nice and helpful. The hours we work were pretty long, but my senior and I set up ways to get our work done so that we would have shorter days on certain days (such as Fridays). As long as you have good time management, it’s easy to get a good routine going that will keep you motivated.”
