      Pros

      The people at Kennedys are possibly one of the biggest pro- they create a friendly and supportive environment and ultimately a positive culture. I have had opportunities to collaborate with international offices and work on pieces of litigation in a range of jurisdictions. I have been pushed and challenged, but in a supportive manner and been able to shape my training contract to my needs and career goals.

      Cons

      The salary is perhaps not as good as other firms, but that is possibly countered by a better work life balance and more consistent finishing time. There are discrepancies between the offices as to how seats are allocated and the opportunities available.

      - Bathrooms, especially those in female restroom, could use more soap. Otherwise, amazing place to work and no cons.

      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.
