Pros

Lots of smart people and good pay, but you work your butt off and have lots of free stress, so make sure they are paying you more than any “regular” job. I would not look at anything more than double your current pay.

Cons

Needlessly combative and juvenile. All situations turn into cases with personal attracts aplenty, especially by the druids of the firm, those who’ve been there for more than a year. People act like they want to help, but that’s only bc they want a way to make themselves look better. Knowing what I know now, I would not recommend this place to my enemy. I repeat: stay away.
