Pros
Some great people to work with. Centre started with a very positive start up vibe. Big calendar social events for Christmas and summer are really well done and monthly breakfasts and drinks. Mostly because you need all that free alcohol just to get through another week. The new office is fabulous despite off centre location. Great catering in the cafe and benefits system is very good especially medical. Good internal courses offered regularly by L&D team. Having a major corporate law firm on your CV will look good. Salary is good for the North if you negotiate well.
Cons
Absolutely no transparency or communication on any decisions made, ability to develop upwards especially salary bands or bonus decision. Management is very top heavy while expecting very junior staff to do tasks that are beyond their job description/title, what they are remunerated for or with consideration to the general resource level of the team.
