Business Outlook
Pros
Top Chicago firm prestige, potential for high quality of work, lots of interesting co-workers in a very team-oriented atmosphere, lots of good/great exit options, some really great attorneys who really care about the firm and are often invested in associates' success. If you want to be in Chicago this name is hard to beat and has the perception of being a little friendlier than the other mega-firms in town. Training is top-dollar.
Cons
extreme hourly expectations, large masses of associates, junior associates somewhat overlooked and have the potential to be pigeon-holed. Constant associate turnover creates lack of continuity on projects. Sometimes feels like practice groups are isolated.
