Pros

Nice views and good location. Most associates get offices as many empty offices. They are desperate to keep people so pay well.

Cons

Boring and soul sucking place to work . It’s an old white men’s club and all the problems that go with that. Preference is given to male lawyers who stroke the egos of partners. Some partners/lawyers are really difficult to work for, just weird or both. So many people have resigned in the past year. Noone wants to work there.

Pros

Very different model than other firms in terms of compensation that can help avoid some of the competitive nature that may be present elsewhere.

Cons

Transparency in terms of evaluations could be improved.
