Pros

Surrounded by great people that are both brilliant and easy to get along with. You get to work on interesting projects with big clients The firm has a great culture The open door policy is real... most partners are very welcoming of junior associates popping in to ask questions. This is very rare at other firms.

Cons

Like any big law firm the hours are long and sometimes unpredictable. That is the price you pay for the high salary though.
