      Good for a big firm

      Pros

      Great compensation and benefits; smart people; one of the top firms in the startup space.

      Cons

      Like all big firms, long hours are required; people generally just want to get done and go home; clients tend to be very cost conscious in the startup practice, which leads to a lot of pressure to do things quickly and perfectly, but without billing much time.

      Surprising Excellent Work Environment... but still a law firm

      Pros

      Absolutely stellar work environment. The staff is first-class and the attorneys are (mostly) friendly. This firm is a rarity among AmLaw 100 firms.

      Cons

      It is still an AmLaw 100 firm. The business model itself is a tough one.

      Pros

      Finding it challenging to identify pros. Benefits are good and offices are well appointed. The lawyers are smart as are most of the staff.

      Cons

      Terrible leadership team. Incredibly political with next to zero emotional intelligence. No CFO, CMO, or Chief HR Officer, if that's an indication. Lawyers are paid at market prices, but staff positions seem under market, especially for the number of hours staff members are expected to work. Strategic vision not well articulated--the vision that is articulated is not backed with a well thought out plan. Firm touts its core values, but seems to reward those who don't practice them. Morale is low.
