Pros

Great rapport with colleagues. Employees work hard and play hard. They try not to let the work tie them down too much. They find a way to cope.

Cons

I can't honestly say there was a downside. However it could be dealing with some of the attorneys who can either make your job enjoyable or make it more difficult.

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.
