Pros

Cooley is a great firm IN GENERAL. Everyone seems pretty happy.

Cons

There are certain groups within the firm (within certain practice groups at certain offices) that are nearly impossible to work for. Be wary of joining a group that consists entirely of attorneys from another firm that moved together- they do not represent Cooley well. As someone stuck in that situation, I would NOT recommend Cooley. When able to work with others outside of "the" group, it's a great place. So, really, a mixed bag.

Pros

Free lunch and snack bar

Cons

Some offices have awful open layouts and cubicle like associate seating. I also experienced a lot of turnover and instability under the new CEO.
