Pros

Not many anymore. Used to have schedule flexibility and remote work, but those were taken away this year.

Cons

Run by lawyers who have never worked anywhere else, so they have very limited legal and managerial experience. They ignore basic principles taken for granted everywhere else and value form over substance. Attorneys are hired to do boring copy pasta work. Do not work here unless you are desperate.
