Then we took a tour of the offices, which were pretty nice, and best of all, it was 6:45pm on a Wed. and they were deserted. Maybe this was a tactical decision on their part since they knew we'd be taking the tours, but it definitely added some credibility to their claim that there isn't as much pressure to bill hours, etc.

I can't speak for this firm, but I know of two BigLaw firms who DEFINITELY kick the attorneys out early on reception days. Good move on their part. Law firm receptions are the bomb. It's funny, though, that (at least at my law school) they are "1L Receptions," and they get a HUGE turnout (especially for the "big" firms), yet such a small percentage of those who attend actually have a chance.
