    Forget the grueling hours in Big Law. This Seattle firm has a 37.5-hour workweek (35 in New York), with flexible hours, and the option to borrow up to one week of future paid time off accruals. Attorneys at Perkins Coie call the culture “open,” “friendly,” “diverse,” and “team-oriented”; there really are “no jerks” allowed.
