Pros

Salaries have gone up and there is a great work/life balance. There is a good chance to become partner if you prove your worth. If you are committed it can be a great place to have a career.

Cons

A large part of how many opportunities you may receive depends on which partner you work for. If you get hired into a good group you can do really well.

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
