Pros

Good people, good hours, very accessible and friendly support staff, decent corporate culture, attorneys and professionals (at least in the group I worked) were nice people and extremely talented at what they do.

Cons

The merger with Dentons cost some very valuable people and specialized practice groups on the McKenna side, which is understandable given the size of the move. However, with the transition to largest firm in the world, some of uniqueness and branding seemed to be lost. Logistically, the transition has often been confusing and muddled at times.
