No company for a lawyer
Pros: For many years at IBM, I would have raved about the respect for the individual; the sane work-life balance; the collegial work environment.  These have all been deterioriating since 2007 or so.
Cons: Lawyers are viewed as a cost center.  The compensation is a joke.  They expect lawyers to run their deals, be the cruise directors, always be the go-to expert on virtually any topic that is not purely product / technology-based -- but all the money goes to the sales people.  Never has been a clear career path enuncitated for attorneys.
