Pros

Decent hours and work load for biglaw. You can get by a few years without anyone really noticing you. Nice to pull out the paychecks and move on.

Cons

Depends on group but certain corporate groups have poor morale, work quality all over the place, not much teamwork, no mentorship, basically very few of the things that make a job / biglaw job satisfying. Technology is outdated. Firm is cheap and lean. You’re on an island. Constant hiring, firing and people leaving resulting in a revolving door. Some groups have work to support the constant hiring, others don’t. Have never seen a lateral integrate.

Pros

Beautiful views of Boston Harbor

Cons

Entitled atmosphere while claiming to be "inclusive", the tiers of hierarchy are ever present and they like for you to know it. But a select few are not happy coming to work each day. It was described to me as being "beat down" every single day. Not a very friendly or welcoming place, although they would like for you to believe that it is. Mean spirited people. Benefits are so/so, pay is decent if you can tolerate the environment. Once a month beer & pizza social can't make up for the negatives.
