Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Overall a negative experience (underpaid, poor communication)
Pros: -Great reputation (really good for resume)
-Lots of training opportunities
-High quality coworkers
-Lots of reimbursable expenses (meals, parking, commuting costs)
-Good vacation (5 weeks, but still have to hit your billable hours target which can be difficult if your on a federal contract that only lets you bill 40 hours a week)
-Great parental leave (2 months paid when I was there, I heard it's now 4 months)
Cons: -Underpaid (I was paid $86,500 and when I left I had offers of 105, 115, 125, and 132)
-Expectation to do work outside of billable hours unreasonable (it's not that you have extra work to do, that should be expected basically anywhere.  The problem is they don't communicate what kind of work is actually important and what isn't.  A lot of people are running around doing "firm activities" because they think it makes them look good but it doesn't really make a difference.)
-Extremely bureaucratic and hierarchical (the senior managers and partners tightly control interaction with the client making it very difficult to do your job.  There are layers and layers of review with minimal input going in each time.)
