They also appreciate the hybrid working environment which is now in place, as well as the close proximity to public transportation in their offices.

Employees also report that they did not receive much assistance or support and there was a lot of pressure to advance. Additionally, "market raises" are not given to every associate and salary is completely discretionary and opaque. There is also a lack of training and diversity in the Indianapolis office, as well as an outdated legal software and systems. Furthermore, there is no bonus structure for hours and new mothers must be at the firm for a full year to qualify for any type of maternity leave.
