      Wilson Elser reviews

      The largest law firm no one has ever heard of. Nice to get courtroom experience but not to stay long term. - Senior Associate Wilson Elser Employee Review

      Pros

      You can get a lot of courtroom experience quickly, getting you out of the office. For insurance defense, they pay in the top tier.

      Cons

      Becoming an equity partner is very difficult as the partners fight over credit for work, even when you bring it into the firm. There is no training or formal mentoring program as young associates are "thrown into the fire." The endless push for more billable hours is a drain as you see the salary pale in comparison to BigLaw billing the same number of hours.

      Pros

      Good coworkers and supervisors. Billable work environments tend to be the same in terms of monotony, so it helps to have a good team.

      Cons

      Billable hours aren't the most fun thing in the world. Huge caseload.
