Pros

Mid-size firm that offers the feel of a smaller firm in terms of relationships, but gives the benefits of a larger firm. Well known in the legal community. Flexible schedule.

Cons

Dependent on your supervising attorneys and the paralegals you work with, much like any company. There is no real option for advancement, depending on what echelon you are in the firm.
