Pros

The firm pays pretty well

Cons

Management was hostile and offered little by way of expectations. As a result, I frequently found myself "in trouble" for failing to conform with expectations that were both unrealistic and not communicated to me.

Pros

It is Cravath Salary Scale

Cons

it has the highest turnover in Boston Big Law for a reason: Higher billable requirements than almost any other firm in Boston; Horrible reputation (both culture and with clients) on the corporate side; Abusive reputation; Very long partnership track (12 years); Unlikely to hit billable hour requirements unless on the M&A team; Very low client retention, especially on the ecvc side; no centralized staffing; Poor support with very few paralegals (and very high paralegal turnover); Losing steam over the last few years.
