Pros

Pay is good (until you do the math of salary/hour but if you don't have a family or don't like your family, this is a good place to work.) IT keeps up with new technology so always learning new things The people you work with are intelligent and generally easy and fun to work with

Cons

Long hours Making everyone come back into the office even though we proved to be more effective at home High stress Making everyone come back into the office even though we proved to be more effective at home OOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDD hardware/technology. Using a laptop that is almost 10 years old. It's embarrassing really to bring out in public. Biggest law firm in the world and stuck using a laptop built for Windows 7 Did I mention aking everyone come back into the office even though we proved to be more effective at home
