Macpherson Kelley Reviews

The company has fair and transparent promotion possibilities. There is an application that makes the criteria very clear.

The MK Foundation has real and lasting impacts, with monthly updates to check in on its progress

In-office the culture is excellent. All Principals have been willing to assist, and all juniors are engaged in your learning. People make sure to put time aside after hours to catch up outside of work.

From my experience, diversity seems to be great and you can really tell the company is always trying to improve.

Your role and responsibilities as a graduate vary so much rotation to rotation. Currently, I spend a lot of time reviewing contracts and preparing for litigation generally.

We have mid-rotation and end of rotation reviews which is a great way to express how we're feeling and have a check-in

I like the open floor plan because it flattens the hierarchy. Sitting next to and talking with all people., regardless of seniority. Dress for your day is great too

The interview process was great. It was the only firm were I felt completely comfortable to be myself in the interview process as they constantly reiterated to just be yourself, rather than encouraging us to be someone else just in order to get the job.

The pay could be higher at the graduate level.

The business school is a great tool to build commercial acumen and general commercial knowledge.

With the exception of a couple of later nights, I work standard hours. The firm is quite flexible with the hours - if I start early I am able to leave early. If I need to leave the office at the end of the day but have more work to do I can also always log back on later at home.

the firm has a paper light policy that is well enforced across the offices.
