Pros

There is support from all the office through out the entire world which is very helpful to any practicing attorney.

Cons

We are sometimes isolated from the rest of the organization and even the other middle east offices as Riyadh is in the middle of the peninsula.

Pros

I think all "Big Firm" life is likely the same. I hear the same complaints from friends at other "Big Firms."

Cons

Don't expect a personal life. Expect to work all the time. If you job is your life, then you will be fine.

Pros

Relatively high pay. Excellent benefits including health insurance from day one. Respect for employees and work-life balance. Good Paid Time Off system (rather than vacation/personal/sick days). Very few real jerks among the lawyers.

Cons

Excessive bureaucracy and territorial behavior. Office services unit (outside contractor) was very unreliable but a new company was hired in 2009 and may have improved this.
