Phillip joined MP&S as an associate shortly after graduating from college. "In some ways, everyone here is treated like a partner. It's a big-firm situation in terms of the sophistication of the work, but there's a small firm feel, in a good way. Even after a short time here, you feel like there's a lot of growth on the horizon and a lot of opportunities in the job – different industries to get involved in and a range of outlets for your work. It's comfortable but hardly boring. And the energy the firm puts into helping recent hires grow – through classes, for instance – is terrific."

"As HR professionals, it’s our job to build sufficient flexibility into the employment process, to emphasize individuality and recognize socio-economic influences at various stages in people's work lifecycle."
– Eric Marks, Principal, Human Resources

Dawn started at one of MP&S's predecessor firms right out of college and has been here ever since. She’s currently a senior manager in the real estate practice. She appreciates that a growing firm is able to provide real opportunities for professional enrichment and advancement for employees on flex schedules. "I have two children to whom I am committed. My colleagues and managers worked with me to design a way to spend the time I need with my family and also make a significant contribution to the firm and our clients." For nearly three years, Dawn has worked at MP&S on a flex schedule arrangement. "When the firm believes in you, everyone works with you to allow your personal and professional goals to mesh."
