      Pros

      Great benefits. Decent pay to not drown. Remote work is an option that's provided.

      Cons

      Work life balance makes it impossible to use those great benefits. FMLA is severely frowned upon. Over uses it's 'brand' to mislead new hires into believing there is hope for upward movement. You are overworked, underpaid, passed up for promotions and only as good as your last favor. Good luck asking for a raise. Good luck with the very tight-knit politics. It really is about who you know and not what you know.

      Pros

      Attorneys are very smart and hard working. Staff is outstanding. Partners have great collegiality and rapport. Firm very committed to pro bono and social responsibility.

      Cons

      No serious cons. This is a biglaw firm, and a biglaw experience. It's not for everybody, and it shouldn't be. DLA Austin does biglaw as well as anyone, from an employee perspective.
