Pros

I put some deep thought into this, and very rarely write reviews for anything. The only Pro I can think of is the random few people that try amazingly hard to make the workplace more tolerable. For reference, I've worked as an attorney for 25 years, and I have never felt sick to come to work. This is a new experience for me.

Cons

I could probably write a horror novel about this place. Three years ago, the firm brought in a new CIO, which was supposed to be the catalyst to bring the firm up to technological standards. Well, leadership has been fooled. Our document management system is from the 90s and crashes weekly, and our computers are just as bad. Only the elite few are given laptops, and even this process requires a board vote. If you cherish any life outside of work (family, friends, vacation), DO NOT WORK HERE. On the other hand, if you enjoy your boss calling you while you vacation on the beach in Bermuda, then this is the place for you. This place is always one step away from a total IT meltdown that will most likely cause catastrophic impact to the business.

Pros

People on the team are truly a one of kind blend of people in a good way. It's a great gig for anyone with zero experience or looking for a foot in the door for legal work.

Cons

Not much lateral movement within the department. High stress, but manageable since the software has been updated to something more intelligent and cloud based. You'll be treated more like a road block then an analyst.
