Pros

-Some nice partners and most others are generally nice -Sophisticated clients and interesting work -Ample pro bono opportunities and the firm really encourages participation

Cons

-Very long hours, hard to take any time off (including weekends and holidays) -Some partners can be difficult to work for -While they try to match market comp, some budget decisions are surprisingly strict. For example, you get one computer monitor and if you want a second one there is a waitlist (why can't a new monitor just be ordered if there aren't enough??). Very vague/outdated meal reimbursement policy that basically nobody uses
