Pros

Rewarding work, nice colleagues, great trial experience. It is a huge organization with +1k attorneys, so vast wealth of resources in different areas of law. Unionized, great benefits.

Cons

Management can be unfriendly and not know how to manage, promotions within the organization are decided by nepotism, often positions for appeals and special litigation positions are not even posted but rather the head of the practice decides who gets those jobs. The hiring process for new attorneys needs to be streamlined so that we do not lose the best candidates to other non profits.
