Nice people, still BigLaw - Associate Orrick Employee Review

Strong, collaborative BD team with a real focus on innovation and client impact. Great opportunities to take ownership, work closely with partners, and build expertise. Supportive culture with good investment in tools and training.

High standards mean constant improvement

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

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.
