Pros

"Work-life balance" (for what it's worth), training, collegiality, high-caliber colleagues, lots of opportunities to build a strong pro bono practice.

Cons

Endless hours, standard law-firm career track frustrations, policy decisions made for the entire firm through an opaque process to which no one but a small group of select partners can contribute.

Pros

Transparent, great culture, accessible staff at all levels. Collaborative energy.

Cons

Space on some floors remains a challenge. Food options improved nearby but still not right next door.
