Normalized Burnout Culture - Run! - werkgeversreview Legal Administrative Assistant bij Foley Hoag

Great mentorship, interesting cases, great people to work with.

Dysfunctional collaboration and communication across departments.

Here’s a Glassdoor review draft focusing on the points you mentioned: --- **"Limited Growth and Development Opportunities in IT Department"** Working at Foley Hoag offers an experience of consistency and stability, but if you’re looking for career advancement and robust professional development, particularly in the IT department, it may fall short. Opportunities to enhance technical skills or move up the ladder are limited, with little focus on individual growth within the team. While IT management is highly present in virtual meetings—always “camera-ready” and projecting engagement—there’s a noticeable disconnect. Frequent video fatigue on their end can make these sessions feel more like a check-the-box exercise than a genuine opportunity for connection and support. Rarely onsite, the leadership approach often lacks the hands-on, day-to-day interaction that might foster more meaningful development and mentorship for the team. If your primary goals are career growth and professional support, consider whether this environment aligns with those aspirations.

**Advice for Management (Downsides):** Current interactions often feel routine and lack depth, which doesn’t support team growth effectively. Meetings sometimes feel like obligations rather than opportunities for development, with management frequently exhibiting signs of video fatigue. Being rarely onsite limits their hands-on support and reduces meaningful engagement, leading to a disconnect that can hinder professional development for the team.
