Pros

Lots of good people to work for who offer great training. Manageable work-life balance, especially for a big law firm.

Cons

Long road to advancement that can't necessarily be shortened by over-performance, which is common among law firms. Seemed to be some sharp elbows among partners when it comes time to allocate client relationships, but lots of collegial people as well.
