Pros

Location is good. Offices are fairly new although not ergonomic. Staff benefits like ice cream socials are minimal but ample.

Cons

Firm in financial trouble - doesn't pay bills on time. Firm has cut all staff benefits and is phasing out bonuses. Partners not aware of firm status and how staff morale has been decimated. Line managers are mere puppets and all of the valuable and qualified administrative staff has jumped ship leaving a sub-standard management.

Sucks the soul right out of you

Business outlook

Pros

Great compensation and benefits. If you do your job well you get a bonus at the end of the year. It used to be a longevity bonus but they recently changed it. Insurance is great but expensive.

Cons

Long hours, stressful work environment, poor management (at least where I worked), micromanaging bosses. If you're not into kissing you-know-what, you won't succeed. They have a reputation for working people "to death," and it's true. I say it sucks the soul right out of you because anytime you think you're doing well, someone will find a way to knock you down again. I never felt like I had a chance to succeed, and eventually I believed that I never would.
