Business outlook
Pros
Meaningful work esp if you enjoy criminal law Lots of liti exposure Autonomy over most cases Some great and very bright people Job security max Collegiate environment
Cons
Pay can’t compete with top end in private sector which is why the most promising will always leave or consider leaving Job security on the flip side means relatively more non-contributing people hanging about Unpredictable top-down directions and changes Middle management can’t do much at best and try to second guess what the ultimate bosses want at worst Workload in certain divisions untenable - might as well go private Bureaucratic Career progression depends very much on factors out of control like scholar, JLC, how much bosses like you
