When I applied for a position at G&G, I was asked to draft a mock OA response. Other attorneys with my experience might not have liked that. But, I welcomed it as an opportunity to evaluate the firm and how we could work together. Now that I’ve been at G&G for several years, I’m impressed with the culture and collegial environment at the firm.
