Pros

Was an associate here for the last 2 yrs and left for personal reasons. Overall a good firm and great place to work. The regional managing partner is excellent and approachable. They pay associates well. Were willing to be flexible when I fell off track due to personal reasons. Lots of work to go around and partners are helpful in circulating that work when needed. Great events & educational resources, good flexibility with re: remote/hybrid work, and I liked all of the associates I worked with.

Cons

Strict rules re: entering time/billing (as with any large firm). A few "off" or antagonistic partners.
