      Pros

      Midtown locations convenient to multiple subway lines. Free breakfast on Mondays.

      Cons

      Like the old locker room measurement of success. Staff still treated like plastic utensils. Staff layoffs happening and more to come while some work for 6 or 7 and some newly hired partners luxuriate in a 1:1 setting. Also raises and/or bonuses are paid in mid April for prior year. If you leave before that time you miss out any bonus and back pay you may have earned. Disability benefits are below par in NY area (and probably the country as far as law firms go). Below average vacation/sick time for new hires. Firm systems have been upgraded but still unable to handle the volume. Every other email is about billing and collecting.

      A very large and unorganized organization.

      Pros

      They pay well initially, but raises and bonuses are not good.

      Cons

      This is an extremely large organization run by a select group of partners at the highest level. They have a difficult time retaining C suite as it is impossible to run the business and make their demands a reality much of the time. That dynamic quickly trickles down to the lower levels.
