Pros

The salaries are decent. The assistants and some of the associates were friendly. Not much else to recommend the DC office.

Cons

Not collegial. The atmosphere is stiff and tense. My particular practice area did not have a diverse client base. I was not gaining a varied and broad scope of experience. Senior level associates were not being pushed up to partner.
