Pros

There are some positives working for Sidley Austin. The pay is decent and there's overtime (but they work you for the bone for it). You get a car home and a meal if you stay late and there's a cafeteria inside the building

Cons

The cons outweigh the pros here. The environment is hostile and backwards. People are preferred over others due to their "contacts." Being paid over-time is an excuse for the company to harass you to stay late or come in on the weekends. The lawyers are not friendly and there's evident segregation between "support" staff and lawyers - there's even two separate holiday parties.

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.
