I know I should know more, but what's so great about them, besides their high bonuses?

great litigation practice (most contingent work)

short partnership track (5yrs, and you get clerkship credit so you are actually eligible from year 3- although rare)

great perks/bonuses/yearly firm trip to exotic location

locations in tx, la, seattle, and soon nyc

And their website has a bunch of articles about them from AmLaw, etc.

I think the bonuses is mostly what sets them apart. It's the only firm I know of where a high billing first year can hit 250k (pre-salary raise). That's a shitton, especially in Texas.
