Pros

I thought the strong academics from Harvard, MIT and a bench of PhDs will be a great team to work with as far as learning opportuities, team work, and working on exciting litigation consulting engagements

Cons

The senior management in Boston and New York have no clue or strategic direction. Although the firm boost their professional image and mutual respect for employees and management, in reality the management have no respect ofr the talent and abilities of the employess unless you are a VP who can bring in the money as a rainmaker. The motto seem to be 'mik' the existing clients for the money rather than building long term relationships.
