Pros

Work is divided into small teams of attorneys covering all aspects of the firm's business.

Firm is huge with numerous offices throughout the United States as well as several foreign locations. Smooth control among these offices is sometimes difficult to manage.

Pros

Quarterly (if we're lucky) social gatherings that supply alcohol, all the legal pads and Wilson Elser pens you can dream of, free parking and wi-fi

Cons

Knowing and feeling what it is like to be subhuman, Incentive to meet your unreachable billing goal is keeping you job, punching in past your grace period or billing like an average attorney warrants a threatening email from your supervisor
