Pros

A few very nice, decent people. Some attractive associates. Probably room to move up as partners with business development skills average around 70 years of age.

Cons

Seem to hire female associates based on attractiveness which then causes partners to fight with each other over their use. A mid level of partners who can't develop business but because the firm has an institutional stable feel like they are kings of the world.

Pros

Office culture is inclusive and friendly. Salary is somewhat competitive for staff. Bonuses are not generous. Benefits are average. Most attorneys are great to work with, but there are some of difficult attorneys that can make one’s life miserable. LAAs handle lot of billing responsibilities. Overall, a good place to work if you don’t mind the above.

Cons

Your happiness depends, in part, by who you work for. Small bonuses and raises.
