Pros
Lots of PTO and corporate perks like free admission to museums. Good cafeteria.
Cons
Attorneys have more respect for their desk chairs than the paralegals. No one has work life balance and very few people have any appreciation for any of the support staff. This is a stress culture where everyone competes to be more upset and burnt out. It's a bizarre culture. If you aren't an attorney, you are an idiot to work hard here. There is no job trajectory, there is no bonus structure, and partners refuse to "ok" overtime. I worked here for almost ten years and am still close to several attorneys. When I left, no one said anything. Not congratulations on the new job, what are you doing next, etc. It was a lousy feeling.
