      Pros

      - The people were friendly. - The work was interesting. - The status of the firm and the experience gained in the role helped me to more forward.

      Cons

      - Little to no support from management. - Case load over twice the size as originally advertised. - Poor salary (especially in comparison to other colleagues doing the same role with the same level of experience). - No holiday only flexitime - employees are expected to make up the time they have off as annual leave either before their annual leave or after. - Time recording targets and billing targets are unrealistic. - Managerial structure and organisation is poor. - Employees (in particular colleagues in admit areas of the business) were not respected.

      Pros

      Your experience in Defense group is highly dependent on who your managing partner is. Good work-life balance. Manageable case load. Fellow associates generally nice and willing to help. Secondment program allows you to take a week long work trip to another Kennedys office anywhere in the globe and learn about foreign legal system. Depending on your team, you can handle some really interesting cases that even go outside of ID realm.

      Cons

      Support staff sucks. Management doesn't want to invest in support staff. Pay is not the best. NY firm is a bit siloed. Its still ID work so it can get miserable at times. Sometimes firm culture can be a bit catty - lots of people talking behind your back and you gotta watch what you say to certain folks.
