They have been very unprofessional and inappropriate.

It's an amazing place to be a paralegal. You are treated with respect and are a professional member of the team. The cases are huge, high profile and interesting. You are given all the support you need to succeed. I've worked at other firms since I left Kirkland and nothing else compares. Once you've been at Kirkland you are spoiled by their excellence. Great firm, great salary and bonuses, great offices, great respect, great assignments. If you are willing to work hard and under sometimes intense pressure then there are no cons, however, if you're looking for a job where you can coast then Kirkland is not for you, you will have to sacrifice at times, long hours, working nights and weekends and giving up family time are all part of the deal working at Kirkland. 0.0 0.0 5.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 5.0 3.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:40PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:06PM Kirkland & Ellis LLP

private:kirkland&ellisllp https://www.indeed.com/cmp/kirkland-&-ellis-llp/reviews Jan 24th, 2020 12:00AM Open Open Open Kirkland & Ellis LLP Conference Center Assistant New York, NY USA Micromanagement to the max In my dept, the staff were micromanaged, every email checked, every booking checked. There was no trust and you were never complimented, only heard complaints. It was incredibly stressful and had a terrible work/life balance. There was a high turnover rate, new people were constantly being trained. Because of the high turnover rate, you consistently get asked to work over time. You also get asked to work on holidays and the weekends. The good- benefits. You will never hear one complaint about the benefits package here. The location, the view, everything is state of the art. I think the best thing about the place was the view. Managers in different departments were wonderful to interact with, I cannot say anything bad about other departments. 0.0 0.0 2.0 1.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 1.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:40PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:17PM Kirkland & Ellis LLP

Many are overworked. Not a good life work balance. Frequent management turnover. The upside is there are a few great people to work with, if you're lucky. 0.0 0.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 3.0 3.0 2.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:40PM Mar 19th, 2021 08:24PM Kirkland & Ellis LLP

A typical workday ends after expected overtime. Management is fully aware of all problems, but decides to ignore them and take no steps or action to fix any issue in the department. The overall team is great and very helpful. However, the workplace is toxic and the job is extremely thankless and unfulfilling. 9.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 2.0 4.0 1.0 Jan 23rd, 2021 04:40PM Mar 20th, 2021 01:22PM Kirkland & Ellis LLP
