Pros

Colleagues are lovely. Free tea and coffee.

Cons

Senior management that don't have a clue what they are doing or what you do. Therefore offering no guidance or support. Fighting a constant uphill battle to complete tasks that management do not understand due to their lack of knowledge of their teams role within the company. 360 reviews that are used anything more than an HR tick box excercise. Issues and concerns fall on deaf ears, concepts for improvements the same.

Pros

Your experience in Defense group is highly dependent on who your managing partner is. Good work-life balance. Manageable case load. Fellow associates generally nice and willing to help. Secondment program allows you to take a week long work trip to another Kennedys office anywhere in the globe and learn about foreign legal system. Depending on your team, you can handle some really interesting cases that even go outside of ID realm.

Cons

Support staff sucks. Management doesn't want to invest in support staff. Pay is not the best. NY firm is a bit siloed. Its still ID work so it can get miserable at times. Sometimes firm culture can be a bit catty - lots of people talking behind your back and you gotta watch what you say to certain folks.
