I've had incredible opportunities to learn and develop litigation skills early on.

Pros

Salaries have gone up and there is a great work/life balance. There is a good chance to become partner if you prove your worth. If you are committed it can be a great place to have a career.

Cons

A large part of how many opportunities you may receive depends on which partner you work for. If you get hired into a good group you can do really well.

The largest law firm no one has ever heard of. Nice to get courtroom experience but not to stay long term.

Senior associate

Business Outlook

Pros

You can get a lot of courtroom experience quickly, getting you out of the office. For insurance defense, they pay in the top tier.

Cons

Becoming an equity partner is very difficult as the partners fight over credit for work, even when you bring it into the firm. There is no training or formal mentoring program as young associates are "thrown into the fire." The endless push for more billable hours is a drain as you see the salary pale in comparison to BigLaw billing the same number of hours.
