Pros

Well known name in the legal industry. Good leadership from Managing Partner. Great views from the balcony. Some really nice fee-earners.

Cons

Management in some business services teams is toxic. Bullying of junior staff is tolerated and even encouraged (with promotions!). The firm doesn't live up to its values. Absolutely no opportunities for progression unless you're in the right 'clique'. Not accepting of different personalities or work styles. No meaningful training offered. Bitch-y atmosphere. No decent benefits and low pay compared to other firms. Evidence of unequal pay between people doing similar jobs and really poor female representation, hardly any female partners!
