[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Covington lawyers by and large are classy and smart, treat associates well, offer good training, that sort of thing. Generally, compensation may not be as high there as at other firms, which may be part of that overall good culture and lack of ruthlessness. Overall, my experience is that Covington senior attorneys are excellent mentors, highly connected, and will help you find your next job if law firm life isn’t your end-all, be-all. Smart, smart attorneys work there, and a lot of genuinely nice, hard-working people. It’s not a career for someone who isn’t a bit intense, though, regardless of where you land. It’s not the only prestigious firm, but it certainly opens doors better than most. Again, I think that may be in large part because you’re set up for success and accrue enormously helpful professional contacts and skills while working there. It’s a law firm filled with lawyers that other attorneys hold in high regard. [/quote]

What does Covington look for when it hires?  When I was interviewing, I never could figure it out and never received an offer.  It seemed a bit like a black box.  [/quote]
