Pros

The pros are, depending on the group you are placed, can allow flexible work schedule to accommodate appointments, emergencies, etc.

Cons

There are a great many cons. It is a zombie like atmosphere in which NOONE utters a word. You literally instant message the coworker behind you. The raises are comical and the bonuses are just sad at best. I worked with 100% remote attorneys that would often leave obscure emails with very little direction and then be virtually impossible to find. There is no room for growth. I wish I had read the reviews online before accepting. They have a high turnover rate for a reason.

Pros

Really nice people, flexible work options, and top labor and employment work. Highly recommend if you want work work with genuinely nice people, have decent hours (but not perfect--it is biglaw after all), and have some flexibility with when and where you work.

Cons

Politics can be a problem. Partners pick favorites.
