Pros
I had some great coworkers, with whom I am still in touch. Good benefits. Salary was fine, but not spectacular, especially considering the level of stress I felt in this job.
Cons
Working in the IT Department (for only a few months before I was let go) was the worst work experience I have had in my life. This includes working as a dishwasher in a cafeteria! I was given unclear direction about how I was to be spending my time from day to day and was basically expected to train myself. A few months in, I suddenly started receiving negative feedback on my performance, and then I was told I hadn't improved quickly enough and was let go. In every other IT job I have had before and since, I have been considered a top-performing employee. I had a new job within a month, and I've since found out that almost everyone I worked with at Ropes and Gray has either left due to the working conditions, or been fired.
