Pros

Some of the best clients and best matters. Some of the partners are very good at what they do. Plenty of colleagues to make friends with

Cons

Long long hours, psychopathic partners. Some of the partners are nowhere near as clever as they think they are- really doubt they would make it today. Not many prospects
