Pros

I like working hard and striving for something great. As a result, I was intrigued by the ambition of this firm. People want to be the best, and do really great work. This firm goes all out for their clients. Salaries tend to be at or slightly above average.

Cons

Staff gets overworked in the name of catering to attorneys. Some attorneys don't deserve catering to. Furthermore, staff aren't punching bags and are people too. This isn't an environment where people can say what's truly on their minds. If you just want to work and take whatever they give, then fine. Otherwise, this isn't the place for you. Staff is truly used and abused and not appreciated for being the foundation that lawyers stand on.
