“This recognition wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our teams,” said Melissa Berndt, Partner, Shared Services and General Counsel. “Our employees make Aldrich a great place to work by bringing their authentic selves to work and welcoming others to do the same. The passion and care each employee brings to their work create a palpable and lasting impact.”

To better demonstrate the employee experience, we asked a few team members to share what they believe makes Aldrich a special place to work:

“When I joined Aldrich in 2018, I trusted it would be a great place to work. What I didn’t know was that the corporate world as we knew it would be completely rocked to its core by COVID-19. Work from home flexibility, communication, and human-to-human support and understanding have proved to be the most essential assets that any workplace could have. I am so lucky to have seen those qualities in Aldrich and to have accepted the position. Without it, I can honestly say that my entire life would have looked a lot different these past two years.”

“Some organizations offer jobs, and others offer careers and a place to grow. Aldrich has provided me with a career and opportunities to grow both personally and professionally in an inclusive and welcoming environment. I am fortunate that I get to go to work every day surrounded by a group of talented, driven, and supportive individuals.”

“I was initially interested in a career at Aldrich because the people I met seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me, rather than my resume or transcripts. After I attended the Summer Leadership Program, I was excited to join Aldrich the next summer as an Intern. During the uncertain summer of 2020, Aldrich was still committed to giving interns the most rewarding experience possible, while many other firms cancelled their internship programs altogether. Now as an Associate, I continue to be wowed by Aldrich’s commitment to each team member’s personal development, along with the growth and development of the firm as a whole.”
