Pros

Great experience from day one, lots of feedback and support to pursue new practice areas and develop your individual skills.

Cons

Hours and compensation! The firm has a huge emphasis on getting your hours in, and not much else, and the compensation is well below market for the amount of time this job demands of you.

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.
