"Compensation was appropriate."
"Lewis Brisbois is an excellent company to master a specific area of law with the support to learn and grow. The nature of insurance defense, however, limits growth and autonomy in the firm. Because of the fragile relationship, Lewis Brisbois has with its insurance carriers (keeping them happy is priority #1, billing is priority #2), work is very cut-throat, the politics are brutal, and an employee is only as good as the hours they bill."

"One of the worst places I ever worked."
