Pros

I worked at Orrick for 2.5 years and I'm thankful for everything that I have learned at this establishment. Mitchell is an excellent mentor and he loves to share his knowledge. He proactively engages you in legal matters and gives you an opportunity to think out of the box; which helped me greatly to develop in my career. He does not micro manage you and gives you everything you need to succeed (which is very rare for such a large firm).

Cons

Given the size of the company, you need to be comfortable working at a fast pace and learning things as you go from time to time.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
