Pros

Many nice people, including partners in managerial roles Laidback culture Reasonable billable hour requirements Nice offices Decent benefits

Cons

If you notice certain practice groups are always hiring, there is a reason for it and it's usually not a good one. Make sure to ask about turnover and not to believe sales pitches that seem too good to be true. There are some great partners to work for at Germer, but there are also terrible ones that churn through associates with little to no regard for other people. Go in with your eyes wide open.

Pros

Not many. Best I can say is that SOME of the people who work there were friendly, helpful and supportive.

Cons

Interview was misleading about almost everything. Minimal training. Antiquated software and procecedures. Not enough IT support available. Not everyone uses the document management system and the alternative consists of folders on different drives that are not searchable. The few times information was shared it was incomplete or inaccurate. Promised a team to back me up and help me acclimate but discovered that said team was either non-existent or consisted of a group of bullies who enjoy gaslighting others. Complaints to HR about incidents dealt out by that group went ignored even though the admission was made that they were aware of the problem. Extensive workload, lots of unnecessary stress, and extremely high turnover by staff and attorneys. Sadly, the worst place ever worked in my career.
