Pros

Smart, dedicated lawyers. Room for growth. Salary comparable to market.

Cons

Path for growth can be unclear, you must forge your own. Long hours.

Pros

More organized than other firms as far as maintaining model documents that people can use to start off with when working on assignments. Great pay.

Cons

Very snooty atmosphere where most of the the people up top went to some expensive law school like Boston College and still behave like their cliquey frat boy selves from 20 years ago. Very much like a good ol’ boys club where white male associates get their pick of work while more diverse employees (like women) get the scraps (like look for commas and periods and send mail) if there’s any left. At the end of the year if you don’t get enough hours they’ll just fire you and they make it seem like it’s your fault even though they’re the ones who don’t give you the work no matter how much you ask.

Pros

Competitive compensation for attorneys, practice group leaders that actually care about associates being happy (may vary practice group to practice group - but mine is great), endless training opportunities, great benefits, very supportive of flexible work arrangements, very supportive of doing pro bono work, at the associate level at least if you're a jerk you end up being shown to the door.

Cons

Like any firm, there are long hours, travel is often required. Like any firms, there can be internal politics that aren't always fair or logical.
