Pillsbury Earns #7 Spot on Vault’s Latest Best Summer Associate Programs List, Praised for Mentorship, Culture and Career Development

Vault asked associates to rate their summer experiences across six key areas: attorney interactions, substantive assignments, training and mentoring, preparation for associate life, quality of events and overall satisfaction with firm-sponsored social opportunities. The Overall Best Summer Associate Program ranking reflects the average of these ratings, spotlighting firms that offer a well-rounded, engaging, and supportive summer experience.
