Pros

Decent salary, good holidays, nice office and facilites (free coffee, fruit and toast)

Cons

Legal Exec with 5 years experience was just given photcopying to do. I left after 6 months. Partner tried to get me to stay, so obviously valued me as a lawyer, but don't think there was enough work to go around

Pros

Good culture, work life balance and flexibility (but depends on the team/ partners’ preference). Reasonable billable target.

Cons

Does not match payscale of other UK firms. Bonus is negligible. No motivation to work any harder because of the small bonuses/annual increment in pay (and high performers are paid a similar amount compared to a low performer). Poor firm management. Lack of structured training.

Pros

The best part about working at Kennedys is the people. They are very friendly and helpful. The firm also has excellent benefits and pay.

Cons

However, there is one timekeeper in the Manhattan office who is the "white elephant in the room." You know there is already a problem when you're introduced to people and they ask who you're working for... You get, "oh boy," "good luck to you," and "ooooh."
