Pros

DLA is a global law firm with great people, top notch clients and challenging work. It is a tremendous place to practice law and people here are generally happy.

Cons

Law is a demanding profession and the work life balance issue is one that is very difficult to balance with the current law firm economic model. It's a very large firm and there are aspects of large law firms that aren't for everybody.

Pros

I enjoyed my time with my team and the other staff. Several attorneys were wonderful, but not all.

Cons

They appear to value loyalty, but actually would just as soon get rid of long-term employees and not replace them.

Pros

Very friendly staff and an environment that breeds smiles.

Cons

People are not driven to get their work done. Everyone works at their own pace, and it almost always slow.
