Pros

Can order dinner in if work late. Base pay compensation is on par with other large law firms. Large corporate clients allow for complex and interesting work.

Cons

Really a regional law firm with little national reach and almost no global presence. Limited training or mentoring for junior associates so do not feel as if the firm is investing in its associates...only churning out the work and hiring new associates when needed.

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.
