Pros

Stoel Rives has great clients in the renewable energy industry. The non-pay benefits are better than many law firms.

Cons

Terrible managers with no interest in developing or retaining talent. It is a revolving door of associates even when compared to other large law firms. Firm management ignores the bad behavior of individual attorneys if those attorneys contribute decent earnings for the firm. The diversity at this firm is abysmal. The hours can be comparable to top tier large law firms yet the pay is a small fraction of market rates. Further, pay is determined on an individual basis, sometimes tied to an individuals practice group.

Enjoy the people in the practice group.

Cons

Consistently too busy to keep up with all administrative tasks. Coverage not provided for PTO unless absence is 3 weeks or more.

Pros

It's probably still great if you're an attorney - especially if you're a partner. Prior to 2012 it was great for everyone who made it great.

Cons

Regardless of your evaluations, the quality of your work or the length of your employment, your job will be outsourced if you're not an attorney.
