Pros
Mayer Brown has a history of very good lawyers providing excellent service to its clients. There is opportunity to learn best practices from accomplished partners.
Cons
The historic heartlessness and disorganization of the corporate culture threatens its standing as a provider of excellent legal services. Recent mass exodus of excellent practitioners is evidence. Associates are miserable and there is little cohesion amongst the U.S. offices. An "every man person for his/herself" culture pervades -- and ruins any scant collegiality. Professionals in administrative and support departments are treated as second (or third) class citizens, which further degrades the collegiality.
