Pros

* Clients are doing cool stuff. * On the corporate side at least, Orrick cares a lot more about getting the details right than some other firms I've worked with. There are smart people there you can learn a lot from.

Cons

* Very hit or miss depending on which partner you do the most work for. A lot of the partners are smart lawyers but not very good managers. * There are smart people there you can learn a lot from, but it's up to you to actually learn from them. * Benefits were sort of meh from a pricing perspective. Unlimited vacation is nice in theory but not great in practice.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
