Pros

We've got a nice office space.

Cons

This is without a doubt the most toxic, hostile work environment I've ever encountered. Scoldings, insults, cursing and screaming are nearly every day occurences. The COO is basically a Bond villain; the turnover in his departments says it all. There's been a 100% turnover in all management twice over the past three years. Employees routinely work 80+ hours per week, and most of us are expected to be on call 24/7/365. The firm is constantly pushing the boundries of ethical and legal behavior, as evidenced by the recent arrest and indictment of one of our international partners. Locke Lord is the reason there are lawyer jokes.
