Pros

Decent hours and work load for biglaw. You can get by a few years without anyone really noticing you. Nice to pull out the paychecks and move on.

Cons

Depends on group but certain corporate groups have poor morale, work quality all over the place, not much teamwork, no mentorship, basically very few of the things that make a job / biglaw job satisfying. Technology is outdated. Firm is cheap and lean. You’re on an island. Constant hiring, firing and people leaving resulting in a revolving door. Some groups have work to support the constant hiring, others don’t. Have never seen a lateral integrate.

Pros

Support staff has been fantastic for career development. Wonderful people to work with and I feel that it has been challenging in a motivational way to keep me developing my skillset.

Cons

I do think that I'm being slightly underpaid but the benefits of working here outweigh that.
