Long hours, interesting work, desolate work environment
Pros: Very interesting work and bright people!  Excellent benefits and flexibility in work schedule. Opportunity to move to different areas within the legal department.  High level legal issues involved.
Cons: Below market salary.  Communication between people on the team is terrible and even though they know it, there is nothing they will do about it.  The offices are dark and dreary.  You are pretty much dropped at a desk and it's your responsibility to figure everything out on your own or ask people, eventhough no one really seems like they have the time or interest in answering your questions.

Expect to spend 2 years before you feel a little bit comfortable.
