Pros

I've worked with some great people. We have passionate and super-smart attorneys.

Cons

Unfortunately, Wilson Elser is behind in technology and processes/procedures. The firm doesn't encourage practice teams, resulting in too many hands in case files. The firm is a defender of management, not employees, and gives too much trust and freedom to OAs. There is a significant tenure gap for staff and attorneys, between under 2 years and more than 10+ years—very few in the middle.

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.

Pros

Great benefits, pay is okay. Partners are reasonable and nice.

Cons

Firm is misogynistic. They either drove someone to quit/fired really good talent and one of the only attorneys that was sweet to the staff after they took the side of male colleague in their interpersonal issue. Watched this person get bullied and firm did nothing. A lot of exclusive groups and mean girl behavior in chicago office it is really a shame
