Pros

Work is extremely interesting/complex; firm is very diverse; partners seem to genuinely care about your development as a lawyer and promotions seem to be possible (albeit difficult, of course); offices are surprisingly integrated; colleagues are generally brilliant; compensation is highly competitive

Cons

Hours can be long/exhausting (in part driven by the workaholic nature of the industry)
