Pros

Salary is competitive. Good office locations.

Cons

Management. Awful supervisors with demeaning behaviour. Need management training courses and lessons on how to speak with people like they are human. Claim to provide a good work/life balance but criticise fee earners if they only work their contracted hours and not 12 hour days.
