Hogan Lovells

Working at Hogan Lovells is largely similar to working for any major law firm. The DC office is a large, busy office, and there are opportunities to support lawyers from many different practice groups. Benefits and salary are also comparable. The DC office is centrally located (right above Metro Center) and is in the middle of a modern, well-designed renovation. Largely, the attorneys are polite, respectful and generally appreciative of good work.

However, as an assistant, there is virtually no opportunity for advancement. If you are skilled and capable, you will often be "asked" to take on extra work (and it is strongly implied that you should not refuse) without any additional compensation or even informal recognition. Both attorneys and management tend to treat assistants as expendable and non-essential. Other departments often expect attorney assistants to handle their overflow work, and many firm processes (especially billing) are outdated.

This firm has a terrible workplace environment as far as the food service operation is concerned. This is due to having a young and immature management team. I was constantly disrespected by my director as well as the person that worked directly under me. In my response to this disrespect, I became the “angry black guy” in the office. Nothing was done nor said about the disrespect - just my responses. I faced unrealistic expectations. There was no training period. I was expected to know everything within two weeks of being there with no support from management. I was constantly sabotaged by different managers to create a false narrative of me not doing my job. I believe that this was due in part to my rate of pay and my race. This is not a good company to work for if you value your self-respect and dignity. I hope that this type of situation does not happen to anyone else that happens to be hired here.  

Hogan Lovells has a strong desire to hire the right people and keep them, and keep them happy.  Benefits packages are strong, and retirement planning options are quite excellent.  When the company looks to make a move, they look at it long and hard before leaping, ensuring a strong success at almost every opportunity.  Long, happy tenures lead to a lack of advancement opportunity, however.  There is also a resistance to adapt to current technologies, which can cause some backlash.  The company has a strong culture of community involvement and works hard towards green, energy efficient, and carbon-low approaches to the environment.  Overall a good place to work if you're seeking something stable and with a community presence.

Always busy daily. The IT Department kept all technical needs up-to-date and running smoothly on a constant basis (a huge bonus).  Management always listened and very fair regarding any and all situations like unresolved issues, current problems, compliments, positive acknowledgements and yearly reviews. This Denver office was/is blessed to have such a high percentage of terrific people from the managing partner and management, all attorneys, staff and the teamwork was the best ever.  A 5-Star rating with no hesitation!

The only hardest part of the job for everyone in the firm were those off & on times of heavy stress just like any other employer has.

A typical day at work involved covering up to 7 attorneys and whatever else was put on you that day.    There was always work to be done or something to learn.
I learned you can do more than you think you can if you apply yourself.
Management could use a facelift.
I truly enjoyed my co-workers.  They always pitched in to help.
The hardest part was making 7 attorneys feel as if they were the most important person that you were working for each day.
The most enjoyable part of the job was when we were all working together for the common good of the company and getting the job done and out the door with a win.  I enjoyed knowing what was going on and being informed of their expectations for the day.
They kept up with the latest technology and had a great IT Department that came to your desk to help as well as offer training classes.

Busy and productive. Always an opportunity to learn more especially if you communicated your desire. Management was always supportive, understanding and fair within the firm's rules and regulations. An outstanding coworker rapport in which everyone was always more than willing or out right offered to help another. The hardest part of the job could frequently be meeting multiple deadlines at once. The most enjoyable part of the job was the gratitude shown when deadlines were met, acknowledgement of your efforts and, when time allowed, sharing a good laugh with superiors and coworkers.

I love the people.  I did not however, get a raise as an EA for 10 yrs. as I was at the top salary and it was between 2008 (when out economy took a dive) until 2018.  This has made it hard for me financially and I have been playing catch-up because of the long interval of no increase in my salary.  The company has to do better with showing business services they value us with salary.

•	A typical day at work- most days I get in early so I can get emails done and be ready for projects, prepare cash report, present to executives, partners, accounts payable and collections department to identify issues, client requirements, and key stakeholders to ensure transactions are accounted for in accordance with established company policies, and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. 
•	What I learned- to be rigorous, positive, problem solver, persistent, adaptable and detail oriented.
•	Management- very organized
•	Co-workers- dynamic
•	Most enjoyable part- learning new things

Hogan Lovells is an interesting place to work at. I have acquired a lot of networking as I serve many Lawyers who appreciate and cherish my work.
My Co-Worker is also very interesting and informative about IT. I have learned a lot from him as far as IT is concern.
The hardest part of my job is to have to serve over 550 employees in the firm when my c0-worker is on holiday
I also enjoy doing that I am intend given enough room to acquire skills and growth

A typical day at Hogan Lovells starts as soon as you walk through the door.  You stay consistently busy throughout the day.  Depending on what you are working on, you tend to learn something new.  The staff are rather pleasant to work with for the most part.  A major benefit of working for HL is they hire from within (when positions become available).  The hardest part of the job is month-end.  HL closes on the last business day of every month which means you cannot celebrate New Year's Eve with your loved ones.
