Pros

Highly competent, cooperative, and effective attorneys. Work well across offices and practice areas. Tremendously deep bench (real experts in around 100 practice areas). Genuine commitment to pro bono services. Most find the requirements, evaluations, and pay to be at least reasonable, if not very good.

Cons

As with any big law firm these days, there are waves of reorganization every few years to cut build-ups of fat. But, sometimes a little skin gets cut with the discarded fat. That's sad, and the risk of it can sometimes be stressful. Still, far better than at competitor firms.

Pros

Gained valuable hands-on experience in a fast-paced work environment.

Cons

Leadership from the top of several departments created an unnecessarily cutthroat work environment. Many management decisions appeared to prioritize short-term objectives over employee retention and morale. One of the most concerning patterns I observed was that several employees with 20+ years of service were terminated around the time of their annual performance reviews. Whether intentional or not, it created a perception that long-term loyalty and experience were not valued. In addition, many of the support departments operated in a way that fostered hostility rather than collaboration. Communication was often poor, accountability was inconsistent, and the overall culture became increasingly toxic. If you're considering working here, be aware that your experience may depend heavily on your department and leadership, as the organizational culture can be challenging.
