At McDermott, we invest in our people’s futures, celebrate hard work and excellence—and prioritize happiness. That means creating a culture of belonging in the workplace and supporting our people in living rich, full lives outside the office.
Don’t just take our word for it:
- Vault and American Lawyer rankings measuring associates’ job satisfaction have placed us among the best firms for the past five years.
- Chambers Associate ranks us among the top 10 law firms for associate satisfaction, retention, career development and DE&I.
- Based on employee survey feedback, we are named a Top Workplace by USA Today, one of America’s Greatest Places to Work for LGBTQ+ by Newsweek and nationally certified as a Great Place To Work.
- The Human Rights Campaign has named us a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality for 16 consecutive years, and in 2022, we were elected to the Seramount Hall of Fame as a longtime Best Place to Work for Women.
We are not your typical Big Law firm. In addition to substantive client work, significant pro bono and professional development opportunities and dedicated mentors, we deliver a warm, people-focused work environment; market-leading benefits and compensation; and an unmatched degree of financial and operational transparency.
Every day, we strive to be #AlwaysBetter McDermott. Join us and see for yourself.
