Pros

I worked at Orrick for 2.5 years and I'm thankful for everything that I have learned at this establishment. Mitchell is an excellent mentor and he loves to share his knowledge. He proactively engages you in legal matters and gives you an opportunity to think out of the box; which helped me greatly to develop in my career. He does not micro manage you and gives you everything you need to succeed (which is very rare for such a large firm).

Cons

Given the size of the company, you need to be comfortable working at a fast pace and learning things as you go from time to time.
