Pros

Mintz Levin is a collegial and family-friendly large Boston-based law firm. Mintz has offices in the UK, Israel, D.C., NYC, San Diego and San Francisco, but Boston is far and away the center of things. The firm is filled with top-notch lawyers from a wide range of disciplines. An excellent place to work.

Cons

Along with big firm life come all of the usual cons of working at any law firm - billable hours, difficult clients, etc. These issues are somewhat mitigated by the quality of the people.

Pros

It is Cravath Salary Scale

Cons

it has the highest turnover in Boston Big Law for a reason: Higher billable requirements than almost any other firm in Boston; Horrible reputation (both culture and with clients) on the corporate side; Abusive reputation; Very long partnership track (12 years); Unlikely to hit billable hour requirements unless on the M&A team; Very low client retention, especially on the ecvc side; no centralized staffing; Poor support with very few paralegals (and very high paralegal turnover); Losing steam over the last few years.
