Pros

Great people, but many of them end up leaving. Lots of resources thanks to the Goliath nature of the firm.

Cons

Overworked - there are too many cases and not enough people. High turnover - no one wants to be a part of a sinking ship. No mentorship - no one has time to talk to you, let alone mentor a new attorney. Negative environment - everyone seems so disgruntled by the heavy workload. Run by paralegals. Senior management (paralegals) like to give legal advice to clients and ignore attorney's strategies, and this is somehow allowed. Partners are too busy to care about this growing problem, and let the senior management reign.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
