Pros

I never felt like I had too much work; not much was expected of me. You are able to go in, keep your head down, and push through your work day without too much interaction with others.

Cons

Very rigid hierarchy, lower level employees aren't respected by upper level attorneys and management. Constant stress of meeting unclear standards.

Pros

Pay was good, and work atmosphere was pleasant enough. PTO time could be taken in 15 minute incriments and you could do make up time up to 2 hours per week in case of a medical appointment or school conference. Benefits were great.

Cons

K&L Gates does periodic mass layoffs with no warning. One day everything is fine, the next you are in the conference room being told that your position has been eliminated. They send you the contents of your desk ans escort you out.
