Honigman has a bad reputation for no-offering people - a couple people who worked there (and got offers) have suggested that they purposefully over-hire summer associates.
To be fair the last three years they have no offered 3/50 or so Summers with all three no offers being last year.
According to friends that previously worked there, they no offered more than 3/50 and last year was not the first time they no offered. They described the workplace as toxic and competitive, even for summers. It's a good firm in the midwest, but they've had trouble retaining top partners. No offering summers maybe the result of financial problems or just simply poor recruiting.
They no offered 3 Summers from last years class, offered all of 2016, and offered all of 2015. Your friends are wrong.

On a partners basis, they have lost some litigation partners, namely groups to Foley/JD but they have retained and recruited corporate. I can't talk to IP.

As a person who currently works at the firm and has been through the summer program, I wouldn’t describe the summer program or work environment as toxic or competitive... I guess haters gonna hate.
