[QUOTE="SoonToBeTrainee, post: 180818, member: 32830"] I saw that you originally mentioned your interest in the US firms, so I'd recommend making tailored applications for these (this, of course, applies to every firm you apply to anyway). But, Latham, Goodwin, and Davis Polk, for example, are all very, very different from each other (despite all being US). I will say publicly that I've always found Wilkie and Latham to be particularly friendly. My brief passings with NRF and Ashurst left me with a positive perception of those firms too. I've never actually been in any of these offices for the day-to-day work however, so can't confirm. On culture/experiences more generally, though, I've always personally found that it varies more at the practice area level than the firm-wide level anyway. Different practice areas generally attract different personality types. So, don't necessarily be put off a firm because someone said they had a bad experience in X department. Ultimately, apply to all the firms you're interested in. If you get a TC offer, the firm thinks you're the right fit! [/QUOTE]
