"I think this firm does a good job in developing interns. A high level of responsibility was given to me from day one."
"As with most small firms (I’m guessing) you're inevitably going to go through ups and downs, in terms of activity. Its up to you to make the most of each. Because there's only 3-4 in the office at a time, it can be what you make it."
"The management seemed competent and directed, though sometimes less than focused. A frequently expressed desire for better projects was never actively pursued."
