Pros
The Firm has a dynamic practice with expanding client base so the career growth opportunities are immense and the Firm supports attorneys who want to seek out specialty areas that are consistent with the Firm's practice. One of the biggest strengths is the Firm's commitment to diversity; as a woman, I always felt that my viewpoints and ambitions were valued and I could chart my own path. I was offered a promotion without even asking based on what I was able to contribute to the Firm and I felt that the Firm was more than fair in its compensation plans and annual reviews. Employees were truly evaluated on their merit. The Firm also sponsored diversity initiative committees, ongoing community outreach and substantial pro bono investment. The people are awesome; I still miss my SR family.
Cons
Since the Firm provides full-service to its clients and the clients rely heavily on the Firm's team of experts, things can get hectic when a client's need is urgent or unexpected.
