Pros

Outstanding opportunities to do cutting edge work for big name clients. Fantastic opportunities for professional growth - Partners willing to give associates as much autonomy and responsibility as they can handle with real face time with clients.

Cons

Demanding hours makes work-life balance difficult to achieve at times - however this is true of all big law firms, esp. ones that contend with demanding clients.

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.
