CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some good clients and interesting work. Good experience to get better jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Partners in the U.S. are greedy and self-centered with terrible people management skills. There is a lot of attorney turnover, from young associates to newly minted partners to senior partners. The firm is a mill where padding of bills is expected and encouraged, although clients have caught on to the fact that defense spend is higher than other firms.
