Pros

I worked for Orrick for several years as an attorney. The staff and other attorneys are generally good to work with and friendly. Great people, supportive environment.

Cons

The work flow can be sporadic. Some of the partners are stand offish. Managment is not always as transparent as it appears.

Pros

The people. The attorneys and staff at Orrick are very smart, dedicated, care about their work, and care about one another. There are no "yellers" here. Everyone works well together. You feel like you are a well respected and needed part of a team.

Cons

The bonus structure leaves too much discretion in the hands of partners who have no time to adequately evaluate your work.

Pros

Market matching pay; high quality work; early responsibility; generally flexible hours (so long as the work gets done). They offer a non-partner track for associates who do not aspire to (or have the endurance to reach) partner -- its still unclear how long a career one could expect on that path.

Cons

Though flexible, the hours are many. Not specific to Orrick, but law firm culture/environment is a tough fit for most folks. Partner track is ~10 years.
