Pros

Of the large firms in Philadelphia, few have as much heart as Ballard Spahr. If you want to work at a big firm in Philly, this is the place to be.

Cons

The downsides of working at Ballrd Spahr are no different than the downsides of working at any large firm. The demands are intense and do not allow for a reasonable work/life balance.

Pros

The software engineering team is small, so that allows one to get a lot of great exposure to designing and building across the stack, from developing backend APIs to modern webs to building CI/CD and deploying to cloud. The work culture is also great, senior devs and mangers were supportive and actively provided me with resources and opportunities to expand and showcase my skills.

Cons

Not many negatives, was a overall great experience.
