Pros

Generous benefits. Interesting cases. There are some very compassionate people. Mintz tries not to lay people off during difficult times.

Cons

There are some people who get staffed on cases because they are bffs with certain partners or senior associates. Unfortunately these people often don’t understand the particular area of law and bill to get caught up. This is a problem when there is a limited amount of money to spend on a case. There are many cliques.

Pros

It is Cravath Salary Scale

Cons

it has the highest turnover in Boston Big Law for a reason: Higher billable requirements than almost any other firm in Boston; Horrible reputation (both culture and with clients) on the corporate side; Abusive reputation; Very long partnership track (12 years); Unlikely to hit billable hour requirements unless on the M&A team; Very low client retention, especially on the ecvc side; no centralized staffing; Poor support with very few paralegals (and very high paralegal turnover); Losing steam over the last few years.
