      Pros

      Great support system and structure, good opportunities for advancement if you're ambitious.

      Cons

      Some bad apples in the partnership. I've had some of the best experiences at Orrick of the firms I've been at, but also have worked with some difficult and abusive partners. Would love for there to be more female partners on the corporate side.

      Pros

      I mainly work independently. There is no one looking over my shoulder and I have the flexibility to complete my tasks as I see fit.

      Cons

      They are a very liberal company and are proud to push liberal causes. They have very strict policies set in place that govern departments as a whole and often do not fit a specific situation or person.

      Pros

      Base Salary and Bonus Structure are competitive and the firm has been recognized as a top 100 company to work for by Fortune and the most innovative law firm in the U.S. by the Financial Times. Senior Management has done an excellent job of channeling the firm to focus on a few practices, such as public finance, energy, and technology companies. The firm has excelled in those areas. The IP litigation and employment litigation practices are also excellent.

      Cons

      The Bonus Structure is only competitive with Vault 20 law firms if you hit your billable hour requirements. Orrick doesn't give billable hour credit for training or firm contributions hours. Billable hours are not spread evenly among associates but that is likely a similar problem at most law firms. You'll get better benefits such as health insurance or 401k if you go in-house.
