Pros
If you want to work at a "California firm", Cooley is one of the better ones. You'll learn California drafting, law, common sense approaches. It's cool to work with start up and tech companies.
Cons
It's just another law firm. You are not getting any kind of "Cooley culture" that will somehow transform your life as a junior associate! The same emphasis on billable hours as any other firm, same challenges actually making and staying partner, same poor management as is typical for any organization run by lawyers!
