      London centric and too much spin at senior management level.

      Pros

      Lovely department. Friendly atmosphere and good working conditions. Has a really community/family feel when you are in your own department and in the regional offices. IT and IT support is excellent.

      Cons

      Too London centric. All senior management based in London. They never venture to other UK offices and you’re just a number. It wasn’t like that under Nigel Knowles - the current CEO isn't a patch on him and acts like a dictator. HR is in chaos and there is a high turnover of staff who are dissatisfied with current leaders. Management is constantly sending emails that are spinning the truth. No honesty and many previously loyal and long serving staff leaving. Quite a lot of bullying at management level and they do not care for their staff. It's all a pretence. Worse law firm I've ever worked for in that respect.

      Pros

      The PTO and benefits were great.

      Cons

      The Manager of my group was not good. Never stood up for us and only came to visit with bad news or critiques. There was not a lot of training and guidance and the attorneys never came to us with an issue.
