Pros

Pay an benefits are good, location is great if you live n the east bay.

Cons

No Ethnic diversity at all. I was shocked to see only 3 African American employee, and even less Hispanics. You would think that out of maybe 75-100 employees at the Emeryville office you would see more diversity but that is not the case. Not only that Management is like a High school click. If you are not with the end crowd then you can potentially loose you job if you stand up for yourself. Lots of gossip and disrespect, People tend to do and and say what they want no matter if its border line harassment. Disrespectful attitudes seems to be the norm here which make working here very difficult. Even management will gossip and even lie just to protect folk that part of the "in-crowd". Most days I hate getting up in the morning, and cant wait to leave for the day. I have witness on more than one occasion an Female employee getting picked on to the point that she ran out the office crying her eyes out. No leadership and I would advise to stay away from this place

Pros

Learn from really smart people on interesting projects. Standard of quality is very high - most of the work product ultimately ends up in front of courts or regulators. Lots of opportunity for development and working in different groups.

Cons

Usually engaged by law firms on behalf of clients.
