Feeling Lucky??
Pros: The firm's reputation allows them to attract incredible talent, certainly raising the tide in many of the practices. Financial resources provides ample opportunity to pursue professional development.
Cons: Are you feeling lucky? It's difficult to find intellectually challenging projects in many groups, since partners have the ability to throw bodies at projects to get menial work completed. And even if you do find yourself on a "neat" project, make room for the various contractors and SMEs that are brought in to have the "real" discussions.

Find yourself on the bench? Better start cold-calling. It's disappointing how out-of-touch the firm can be with the positions Associates can find themselves in. Utilization is tracked hard, but it's a lagging indicator of actual availability.
