Pros

High profile cases (1-2 top level guys bring almost all the good cases) Flexible vacation policy and good benefits overall

Cons

Office politics is very messy and people are not rewarded based on talent or hard work If you are very smart, you are a potential threat to your bosses and will be overlooked for promotion/career advancement A lot of smart people left the company when I was there because several less worthy people were promoted at their expense You can get lucky if you find an influential boss to work for. Otherwise your quality or difficulty of work does not matter No training or investment in employee's personal growth whatsoever

Pros

Decent pay, overtime, nice office. Good if you need something for a few years on a resume.

Cons

Too many hours for little to no reason. The whole point of this job is to maximize the amount of hours people work so that they can bill law firm exorbitant amounts for doing work that law firms and AI can already do. This is a dying industry and the company did little to nothing to help in career advancement.
