Mintz reviews

Mintz used to be a great firm where people worked hard but still had a semblance of a life outside of the firm. With broad mid-level management changes over the last 2-3 years, they are trying to grind as much as possible out of associates until they quit. Over the last 2-3 years, the junior-mid level associate classes have been decimated. People never used to leave Mintz for another firm because for a firm, it was a great place to work, but this has changed. They want to be a New York firm with the bottom line as their number one goal, but they're not. People went to Mintz so they wouldn't have to be at a sweatshop, but new management doesn't get it. On top of all this, if they want to be a NY sweatshop, then they need to at least pay people like it. Bonuses used to be competitive, but have taken a dive, and the salary scale is not on par with other firms in the higher class years.

Usually I don’t comment on former employers but I do think people in market deserve to know Mintz more if they are in job hunting. The work structure is extremely messy. The firm hired very incompetent people to manage the corporate team and caused total chaos. During my time with Mintz, I tried every way to flag issues but my manager never ever responded a word. Only reason Mintz still has clients is because of it’s cheap. Partners constantly write off time or even give discount to clients because attorneys make so many unnecessary mistakes. All those mistakes are LAUGHABLE. Whole corporate practice is non stop losing people while at same time unable to hire new team members. Partners and management believe it’s attorneys/staff’s fault to leave the firm instead of thinking what they did wrong. Nobody even bothered to ask why people are leaving and why firm’s reputation is going down. It’s really not good for the firm keeps hiring people and keeps losing people.
