Pros

Worldwide footprint and big law experience are good on the resume, Cravath-scale pay.

Cons

Everything - questionable ethics of leaders, inept and “yes-man” HR department, focus on making money more than doing what’s right, horrible communication and feedback for associates and staff, passive-aggressive approach to associate management and reviews, partners also in leadership positions don’t pay enough attention to their practices, partners don’t manage their poorly behaved clients and associates suffer because of it, junior and mid level associates have only mediocre and inept “pool” assistants who provide terrible service for the most part, elitist and gossipy culture where those with a conscience or ethics feel like the odd man out, “unlimited” time off policy for attorneys is a fallacy and rarely does anyone actually feel free to take a vacation (let alone be able to not work on the rare occasion they do take vacation). Shall I go on?

Large business with many layers of management, often confusing whom is responsible for which business decisions.
