Pros

Generally sharp, supportive, and kind partners that are the type of people you want to do good work for and who reward initiative and hard work. Interesting global practice and high caliber clients. Great benefits. Amazing staff and paralegals.

Cons

Like all firms, long hours. But there is a great telecommuting policy in place and face time pressure isn't high.
