Good people, but little opportunity for advancement and antiquated thinking in some departments’ leadership. - Anonymous employee DLA Piper Employee Review

Red tape in abundance. Good luck trying to exercise any independent thought or judgment - you’ll be reprimanded for it. Every move must go through chief level approvals, after ascending a very long chain to get there. Constant turnover. I mean constant. Some is due to layoffs and terminations, but the bulk is due to attrition. Some departments have lost and replaced up to 20 positions in the past 1-2 years. Little to no room for advancement. People end up leaving to get better offers because they find themselves in a dead-end holding pattern at DLA. Corporate “faceless” vibes. You’re not going to find much of a personal touch there, unless you luck out and get a caring supervisor.
