Our Survey Says
- “There was a mix of easy and hard assignments, substantive and fluffy. You could get what you wanted out of it.”
- “Summers are provided opportunities to work on substantive assignments and are often able to make meaningful contributions to their teams. The training for summers (and new associates) is relatively light, and folks are expected to learn fairly quickly on the job.”
- “The substantive assignments I worked on were interesting and involved a fair amount of legal writing and research, so skills I learned in law school were definitely put to the test during my summer.”
- “Summer associate program was a good representation of life as an associate. Summer associates received substantive assignments and received individual feedback on work.”
- “Social events were good, and my summer class was very friendly and welcoming. I made friends quickly due in large part to the kind and non-cutthroat environment.”
- “My firm's summer associate program seemed to have an endless number of social events, none of which were mandatory. All of the events provided great opportunities to get to know attorneys across practice groups and were associated with various affinity groups.”
- “S&C sponsored plenty of social events when I was a summer associate, and I don't think that this dedication to interactions and camaraderie is devoted just to being a summer. There are nearly as many sponsored events during the rest of the year.”
- “There were at least two events each week, and it led to a lot of camaraderie amongst the summer associates. When I came back as a first year, I was excited to have so many friends to return to.”
- “The work is definitely harder, but it's a difference of degree, not of kind. I learned a lot from my summer work and have been able to apply it today.”
- “I think that the summer is largely aligned with associate life absent that as an associate you go through more busy and slow months while summer is pretty even-keeled.”
- “My work schedule is very different as an associate than as a summer associate, but the firm was open about this. When I was a summer associate, I never had to work outside of work hours, and as an associate, I often have to work late and on the weekends. The culture is exactly as warm and inviting as was represented during my summer. No impressions were made by the firm when I was a summer associate that do not comport with reality.”
- “Paul McCartney concert at MetLife, Manhattan cocktail reception.”
- “Westchester Country Club, Tribeca Rooftop, and the Yankees game were some of my favorites.”
- “My favorite summer events were the Hamilton Broadway show and the Lady Gaga concert.”
- “Baking competition, escape room, boat tour.”
