Pros

This firm pays well, but you are literally selling your soul to the devil.

Cons

Horrific leadership, most are nearing retirement but are still hanging on and not one of them care about anything but themselves. A few key members of the aging leadership are brand new to the firm (including COO) so no real hope for positive change exists in the foreseeable future. Absolutely heartless during the Covid pandemic, inflexible and unprepared for a crisis. They track employees productivity by monitoring their computers, surveilling email and monitoring phone calls. They do not trust employees. All decisions are made based on the bottom line and without employees best interests at heart.

Pros

Interesting cases, brilliant partners and associates, phenomenal support staff. The people are nice, the environment is collaborative, they are all great, strategic lawyers and legal professionals. This is a great place to develop - I loved working here.

Cons

At least in my location, the compensation is below market, especially for the amount of billable hours required.
