Pros

If you are simply looking for stable employment, this is a fine place to work. However, this is not the place for a fulfilling career unless you hold a JD.

Cons

While there are some wonderful partners, there generally seems to be a culture where associates aren’t expected to be respectful towards non-lawyer colleagues. In fact, there was a complete void of culture, professional development, upward mobility, and respect for admin staff in my experience. I felt an implication that I should just feel lucky to be there without any of those things. While this firm loves to make splashy headlines about raising associate pay, it does not have a team mentality when it comes to recognizing accomplishments – nor does it appear to be interested in being a competitive place for non-attorney talent. Having had far better experiences at comparable BigLaw firms, I’d encourage candidates to be vigilant throughout the interview process and explore all available options before settling.
