The people, the training, the support initiatives, the development programs such as Allens accelerate. I mostly proud of Allens LGBT initiatives as well as support for indigenous reconciliation plans and pro bono activities.
Supportive and friendly work environment, exceptional training and challenging work.
Excellent resources and support, working with other highly engaged people, working for great clients on interesting matters
Cons

As with all elite law firms, there can be high pressure and long hours, but the work environment helps with that.
