Pros

All my comments are relative to the DC office, as the offices differ greatly in each city: - Intellectually challenging and varied work - Good pay - Everyone in the office is incredibly intelligent and very very nice - Regular collaboration between senior and junior staff, minimal hierarchy

Cons

- While challenging and varied, the subject matter of the work can be dry and a little boring at times, particularly with litigation related work. - I hear that pay at the more junior levels is not as competitive compared to our competitors, but at my level I believe I am well compensated. Also, upward salary potential seems limited until you get to the Senior VP (highest) level where most of your compensation is based on the amount of business you bring in. - While everyone is very nice and smart, it is not a very sociable office atmosphere. Not necessarily antisocial, just quiet.
