      One of the best places I've ever worked.

      Pros

      Great company with friendly culture and good pay and health benefits. Lots of training opportunities. Very flexible re work location/ inter office communications.

      Cons

      Not many cons that I can think of. Perhaps the culture felt a bit stifled as the average personality hired was that of a more reserved, introspective type.

      Pros

      The people are exceptionally intelligent. The work is very high-quality and high-profile. The attorneys generally try to maintain a positive, friendly atmosphere. Your time there will look great on your resume, and for good reason - the professional experience is great. Even if you only spend a few years at the firm, you will open many doors.

      Cons

      Like all law firms of this magnitude (PPP, revenues, number of attorneys, Vault rankings, whatever) it is a sweatshop. Associates are worked to the bone. If anyone tells you that this is a "lifestyle" or "family-friendly" firm, he or she is trying to sell you something. All BigLaw firms are like this - the product they sell is associates' time, and you will have to give an unbelievable amount of your time to the firm. Don't let anyone convince you that the work-life balance is materially different at Ropes than at any other mega firm.

      Pros

      In the intellectual property group, Ropes & Gray offers a lot of training to new associates and techical advisors. Every one is busy and you need to set your own boundaries on work life balance. I have observed the firm support numerous TAs and associates transfer offices or increase the amount of time they work remotely.

      Cons

      It is a fairly reserved environment. While the benefits package is overall very good, they do not have any matching for retirement plans.
