“I knew I made the right decision in joining ML&R after my first firmwide social. Those first few weeks had been filled with opportunities to get to know professionals of all levels at the firm, but during this time I got to meet so many people and really see how everyone enjoyed being a part of this culture and community regardless of the point they were in their careers. As an intern, I not only felt welcomed, but I felt like my skills were valued and I would get help developing my career goals.”

“In November, I was working 50+ hours a week, often until 11 p.m. One night my son asked me, ‘Mommy you’re working again?’ and in that moment, I knew I had to make a change. I was working like it was a normal busy season in November and taking time away from him. I wanted to be somewhere that provided me the work-life balance that I desperately needed. ML&R has a reputation of providing that to its people. I knew ML&R would be able to give me my time back so I could spend more time with my kids.”

“When I was researching the firm, I came across the firm’s motto, ‘No success at work is worth a failure at home.’ Many companies preach work-life balance, but few make it one of their core values. Through speaking with employees during my interview process, I could tell that this motto is instilled in each and every employee. It was so refreshing to know that ML&R truly cares about its employees on both a professional and personal level.”

“I knew I wanted to work at ML&R after my first interview. This feeling was reconfirmed with every new employee that I met during the interview process. I could tell from our brief conversations that every person I spoke with genuinely enjoyed their job and felt that ML&R was invested in both their professional and personal success. It became clear that work-life balance isn’t just a talking point here, but a fundamental part of what makes this firm so successful. I’m excited to be a part of that!”
