Vantaggi
Looks good on a resume, people there will generally be nice to your face , it is possible to gain some good and transferable experience if you get in with the right group/partner
Svantaggi
Miserable people, salaries are highly uncompetitive compared to other large firms of same standing, no bonuses (and no, the salaries do not make it for that, for the vast majority of associates), rampant pay discrimination against women, inability and no desire to retain and promote female attorneys, old boys club, absolutely terrible review and evaluation process (how is it even legal?), widespread culture that rewards and promotes those who throw junior associates under the bus for their own personal gain. The culture at this firm is psychologically abusive, and for women, it can be highly damaging to your career, as you are given menial work, lower hours, and lower pay compared to your male counterparts (and compared to your female friends at other big name law firms).
