You would love Kirkland then, where some people it seems work 4-5 days a week from home.

Unfortunately for those of you waiting to hear at this point, you may be stuck in a holding pattern for a bit. Most offices have probably given out offers by now, so you are probably at the whim of waiting for people to either reject an offer, or for their 28-day NALP period to expire.

Do you know if juniors have this option?Anonymous User wrote:I know nothing about their culture or practice group strengths, but unless every other aspect of the firm is shit, I feel like I'd go there just for the 2-days work-from-home allowances per week.

No, you have to be with the firm for at least 2 years (so at least a 3rd year associate).Anonymous User wrote:Do you know if juniors have this option?Anonymous User wrote:I know nothing about their culture or practice group strengths, but unless every other aspect of the firm is shit, I feel like I'd go there just for the 2-days work-from-home allowances per week.

Re: Morgan Lewis: Ok place to work?
Thank you! Can you (or anyone else seeing this) comment on their M&A practice in NY, in terms of the quality of work, client contact, exit ops, etc?

Re: Morgan Lewis: Ok place to work?
I had my callback 2 days ago, so I don't think that's necessarily true. But that's why I was wondering if you (if you're OP) had JUST recieved your offer recently or notAnonymous User wrote:Unfortunately for those of you waiting to hear at this point, you may be stuck in a holding pattern for a bit.

Re: Morgan Lewis: Ok place to work?
It's certainly possible. I'm an associate at a non-NY office, and I know we have offers out, and won't make any additional offers unless someone rejects or their 28-day clock expires.Anonymous User wrote:I had my callback 2 days ago, so I don't think that's necessarily true.

Re: Morgan Lewis: Ok place to work?
Have definitely heard about them being cheap and having a shitty culture as well. People I know who's accepted their MLB offer couldn't give a concrete reason why other than something along the lines of "I want to do biglaw and didn't have better options."Anonymous User wrote:A friend at my firm now worked there: notoriously cheap and have the habit of screwing associates on their bonuses based on vague, discretionary rules. NY office; transactional. More than a few lost their chance at a bonus at some weird retroactive rule that came in just before year end and assured they couldn’t meet it.

Re: Morgan Lewis: Ok place to work?
Could you be a bit more precise on what makes MLB uniquely cheap? Is it a low Seamless budget??Anonymous User wrote:Have definitely heard about them being cheap and having a shitty culture as well.

Re: Morgan Lewis: Ok place to work?
Be careful at least with the Philadelphia office. Very brutal and one size fits all culture. If you are a white male who loves sports you will do great. If you are literally anything else I would avoid it. Many racist remarks and jokes.

They will charge you small fees for everything, in addition to the low food and lunch budgets. They also make up excuses to not pay out bonuses from what I hear from colleagues.Anonymous User wrote:Could you be a bit more precise on what makes MLB uniquely cheap?

this is actually quite helpful. i've never enjoyed homogeneous crowds of white male sports fans as colleagues. it's bad for my psycheAnonymous User wrote:Be careful at least with the Philadelphia office.
