Pros

35-hr work week OT work from home Transit benefits

Cons

Diverse but not a place for all personalities or work backgrounds. The conservative culture and robotic pace quickly frustrates and makes one feel inadequate if you come from complex, dynamic environments with few routines. It will stifle independence. The department is now evolving from the long, drawn-out mundane process. It reduced much of the "crying over spilled milk" response. Many folks boast their tenure to show for their experience and unfortunately are unable to provide other skills and talents. In reality, doing the same thing for years does not acquire anyone new skills. The accumulated knowledge shows it will fade away during process evolution. Not much to look forward to in its career path.

Pros

The folks who have been at Sidley for 3+ years are great.

Cons

HORRIBLE leadership and management at the firm. The workday integration was a mess, and new CHRO has really tanked the company culture. They are also only giving out 3% raises the year the firm has record profits. Associates are burnt out and mean to staff. They underpay staff and then wonder why their best talent is leaving.
