Pros

King & Spalding places great emphasis on mentorship that is encouraged across all levels of lawyers and and staff. The marketing and business development group is a cohesive team that drives activity across the firm's US and international offices. It is a very dynamic environment, and very satisfying to work at one of the world's highest rated firms.

Cons

King & Spalding expects excellence in our work product and that drives each of us to raise our own standards. It is not a con by any stretch, but you must be willing to work hard and work to your highest level across all projects from large to small.

Pros

The quality of work is challenging and the firm offers lots of professional development opportunities. The firm has a daycare nearby and offers four months maternity leave.

Cons

Partners and senior level associates could communicate better with more junior level attorneys. Juniors are not always kept apprised of the big picture.
