Pros
There are some really good lawyers here, great resources, and specialized departments.
Cons
I know several strong and intelligent Associates who regularly look for new jobs to avoid crying daily. If you are assigned to the wrong partner, your life will be a living hell. Your life outside of work has no meaning, and you will be expected to cancel even the most important events with no warning (even if they start at 8 at night and there is no court deadline at risk) based on the whim and schedule of your partner. Some partners also permit no discretion for their Associates, even those who have considerable experience. Most Associates leave within two years, and many shorter than that.
