Pros

Orrick has a family vibe with coworkers and it is easy to get attached to this place. I wish I could have been here forever.

Cons

Not many. Wish management had more say to protect employees.

Great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Great clients, interesting and challenging work, colleagues who I truly enjoy working with, and a lot of autonomy to develop my practice at my own pace and timeline. I appreciate that they don't force us all into the same trajectory or mold.

Cons

Sometimes the hours get crazy, but I think that's par for the course in litigation, and the hours never seem as bad as what my counterparts are dealing with.
