Pros

Cooley is probably the best of big law - sophisticated clients in the high tech and life sciences industries, interesting, cutting-edge legal work, genuinely collegial culture, and plenty of training and advancement opportunities.

Cons

Long hours (nights, weekends, more late nights and weekends), pressure to conform to firm demands, radical stress.
