Pros

I joined Wilson Elser based on its reputation for being a great firm with great people; I knew current and former employees that spoke highly of the firm, the culture, and the friendships. Now that I've joined the firm, it's turned out to be a great decision for me and my family. I’ve made new friends, have great tech, and there’s an actual work/life balance. Litigation is pretty much the same regardless of firm, but it’s better when you enjoy where you work.

Cons

I should have joined sooner.

Pros

Good coworkers and supervisors. Billable work environments tend to be the same in terms of monotony, so it helps to have a good team.

Cons

Billable hours aren't the most fun thing in the world. Huge caseload.

Pros

Great benefits, pay is okay. Partners are reasonable and nice.

Cons

Firm is misogynistic. They either drove someone to quit/fired really good talent and one of the only attorneys that was sweet to the staff after they took the side of male colleague in their interpersonal issue. Watched this person get bullied and firm did nothing. A lot of exclusive groups and mean girl behavior in chicago office it is really a shame
