Pros

Mostly very nice people, good benefits

Cons

A lot is expected of fee earners regardless of the fact that training provided and feedback is sub-par. For what is expected of fee earners in terms of chargeable hours, billing targets and BD activities, pay is well below market rate. People management can be poor.
