Business Outlook
Pros
There are some positives working for Sidley Austin. The pay is decent and there's overtime (but they work you for the bone for it). You get a car home and a meal if you stay late and there's a cafeteria inside the building
Cons
The cons outweigh the pros here. The environment is hostile and backwards. People are preferred over others due to their "contacts." Being paid over-time is an excuse for the company to harass you to stay late or come in on the weekends. The lawyers are not friendly and there's evident segregation between "support" staff and lawyers - there's even two separate holiday parties.
