Pros

No pros spring to mind.

Cons

In my 25 year career Mintz was the most demoralizing job I’ve ever had and I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemies work there. Just a few reasons why: - Borderline corrupt corporate practice that prizes billing over competence (read: clients’ best interests); - Shockingly disrespectful and hostile culture that enables and rewards the worst behavior; - Embarrassingly little emphasis on training, development, and/or client value (by traditional definitions anyway).

Pros

It is Cravath Salary Scale

Cons

it has the highest turnover in Boston Big Law for a reason: Higher billable requirements than almost any other firm in Boston; Horrible reputation (both culture and with clients) on the corporate side; Abusive reputation; Very long partnership track (12 years); Unlikely to hit billable hour requirements unless on the M&A team; Very low client retention, especially on the ecvc side; no centralized staffing; Poor support with very few paralegals (and very high paralegal turnover); Losing steam over the last few years.
