Pros
offices are nice and firm has an retreat each year where all the attorneys meet and mingle.
Cons
Duane Morris either ignores or is ignorant to rampant morale issues that plague the major offices. Morale is poor because non-equity partner compensation is about half of what senior associates earn (when you include their bonus) at other law firms. Associate bonuses are exponentially below market and although the firm starts associate compensation close to market ($165k), annual increases are are not even close to market ($5k to $10k each year). The longer you stay at this firm the more money you will lose compared to colleagues at other big law firms. Firm's stated business model is to pay as little as possible to stay competitive within the middle market, notwithstanding that lower tier and regional firms pay significantly more.
