Pros

There was not a huge focus on billable hours. Partners ranged from nice to rude, but most everyone was polite. Definitely a better work life balance than similar Biglaw firms.

Cons

They definitely don't pay market. But you are also not billing at the crazy high rates you would be at another Biglaw firm. Partners are not invested in your growth at all.

Pros

Very different model than other firms in terms of compensation that can help avoid some of the competitive nature that may be present elsewhere.

Cons

Transparency in terms of evaluations could be improved.
