Pros

You get to work with a lot of great people from all offices, some partners are willing to teach and have patience (others may not). I've made some of my best friends working here.

Cons

Management can be picky about dumb things, let senior staff get away with things the junior staff would get reprimanded for (e.g. being in the office 3 days a week), and the older staff who've been there forever don't know how to do their jobs and pawn it off on the junior staff. Benefits are great, pay is not market, and they know that - also said that they will not adjusting for cost of living. Expect a 1-2% raise as a top staff member.

Great Law Firm

Pros

Firm is committed to being cutting edge. Executives listen to good ideas and are willing to adopt them. Good work life balance. Employees who are hired are trusted to do their job and for their expertise. Collaboration between employees is excellent; this means that even executive decisions are never out on a limb. Everyone is in it together, and the mantra is constant improvement rather than blame. Firm does a decent job of employee appreciation, especially themed events and food.

Cons

Help Desk is inefficient. Third parties employed by firm make less money with worse benefits. There are more responsibilities and expectations then time (although executives are still realistic despite impossible workload on paper). Systems used by firm are disjointed. Data appears certain way in one system, and a different way in each of the others. Making change happen is possible but extremely slow... often takes months.

Pros

It is a large firm with a rebuttable name. Because of the size and success there are a lot of resources available that smaller firms might not have.

Cons

There is a huge disparity in income between attorneys and support staff. While this can be expected, it creates a divide in understanding that can get in the way of team building and collaboration. The staff have to fight for even the smallest raises and are often given more work when reaching out to management with concerns about burnout. They also don't seem to promote from within which blocks internal growth and devlopment.
