Pros

Great work environment for a "big law" firm. Flexible hybrid work schedule. Billing "target" of 1900 hours.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than other big law firms, but the tradeoff is a more flexible schedule and less rigid hours expectation. Unlikely to be an equity partner, but non-equity partnership is effectively guaranteed given enough high-quality work and time.

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.
