Pros

Fellow Associates are generally a good group to work with even if as a group you are managed by the fear of losing your job.

Cons

No work life balance of any kind. Some partners are just downright awful. Have to bill 2000+ hours to get the bare minimum bonus of $5,000 - it's simply not worth it.

Pros

The company feels like home, family-like, they say they respect home-life and has a lot of attorneys with real family and adult lives. Most ppl are friendly.

Cons

Ofc, that does not apply to junior associates. Partners hog work away from junior associates, partners are not interested in training juniors. no middle associates to train due to burnt out / low pay life. The firm has a reputation of churning out young female attorneys and lays them off once they feel burnt out.
