Business Outlook
Pros
Orrick culture is very friendly and informal for a law firm. Everyone tends to maintain a sense of humor even in difficult situations. The senior attorneys are approachable and take time to talk to staff. They make deliberate efforts to involve junior staff and are willing to give you opportunities you may not get at other big firms. If you are very ambitious, there is room for growth.
Cons
The pace is exacting. Expect to work your ass off. Senior employees work very hard and you will be expected to match them.
