Pros

Juniors are given real opportunities to be involved in lots of good quality work. I experienced very little sense of hierarchy amongst the few earners.

Cons

It can be a boys' club. Sometimes there can be an 'us and them' feel with support staff. Better integration would benefit everyone.

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.
