Business Outlook

Pros

Good facilities. Not a lot else.

Cons

I would advise against working within the liability department. There is bullying by management and solicitors in the team cannot actually get any work sent out due to negligence of said bullying partner. Poor salary. At least 1 person would be crying in the office toilet every week and very high turnover of staff.
