How does Venable LLP make decisions around promotions?

The attorneys have clearly defined path to partnership goals that they review pretty regularly. Promotions among support staff have been rare historically, but that's been improving in recent years. In most departments, you work with your supervisor and/or department director to set up goals and a timeline for earning a promotion. Some groups are better about this than others, but there's no punishment for asking. And we get annual reviews so you'll know if your job performance rates high enough to make asking worthwhile.

Slowly and infrequently.
