Jones Day Work Values

Daily Duties at Jones Day:

As a Summer Associate at Jones Day, I had the opportunity to work with many of the different legal departments including the Litigation department, the Tax department, the Antitrust department and the Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation department performing various research and drafting memoranda. Upon becoming an Associate at Jones Day, I joined the Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation department for which I performed ERISA and executive compensation work in corporate transactions (including mergers and acquisitions), prepared and reviewed retirement plans, including IRS documentation and compliance, drafted executive compensation and benefit packages including employment agreements and retirement/compensation packages, and assisted clients with structured purpose financings and securitizations.

What they like about Jones Day:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
