Pros

Kennedys fosters a great culture with genuinely lovely people who are collaborative and respectful. The hybrid working arrangements provide flexibility, and there's a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Hard work and achievements are consistently recognised and celebrated. Communication is excellent across all levels, and leadership maintains a true open-door policy. Kennedys has a supportive environment that encourages growth and well-being.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind as any issues are already being address and improved.

Pros

Kennedys focuses on giving its staff a proper education. There are opportunities for people to get a good foundation and develop in their chosen practice area. There are good mentors across different practice areas to supervise and act as a sounding board to help you develop. Kennedys is a good firm if you are looking to become an outstanding lawyer.

Cons

The firm’s IT is not the best.

Good people, poor management

Pros

The staff are lovely and good team atmosphere (obviously dependant on where you worked in the firm). If you were good at your job in entry level roles, then you could get a promotion in the first two years or so.

Cons

There is a disconnect that sometimes arose between management and the staff doing the day-to-day. Poor technology (HR, IT and Business Development) and slow change of culture heading in a negative direction plus increase in stress among teams at the time when I left.

Huge disconnect between management and staff - staff generally don’t feel valued or listened to which has led to multiple departures
