BCG Attorney Search speaks with attorneys about law firms every day. Here is what attorneys are saying:
Shearman & Sterling is a global law firm that has been in business for over 150 years. From the reviews of those who have worked at the firm, it appears to have a mostly positive atmosphere, with employees feeling valued and treated fairly by the non-leadership and non-C-suite staff. The newly renovated office is well-appointed and offers a range of amenities, such as a free coffee shop, high-tech cafeteria and conference center. The salary and benefits offered are also competitive.However, it is not all positive. Reviews suggest that the Leadership and C-Suite team are not as supportive of their staff, with employees feeling underappreciated and undervalued. There is also a toxic atmosphere at the top, with a �sweep everything under the rug� mentality. The insurance premiums are also high, and staff are expected to work outside of regular business hours.
Overall, from these reviews, it seems that Shearman & Sterling has a mostly positive atmosphere and offers competitive salaries and benefits, but that there is room for improvement in its leadership and C-Suite team. It is also important to note that there have been recent lay-offs, mainly impacting business staff. Those considering working for the firm should bear this in mind.
