Pros

The billable requirements are not overbearing (1900). Depending on which group you are assigned to, you are given a lot of independence. Most associates and partners are willing to answer your questions and provide guidance.

Cons

The pay is paltry. The firm holds itself out as a "biglaw" firm, but the practice groups are very limited, and the pay is half of that offered at "biglaw" firms.

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.
