Pros

Light, modern office. Good facilities (underground car park/bike storage) Competitive salary. Situated close to the train station. Flexible working permitted.

Cons

The IT systems are poor. Lack of formal training or development opportunities. No interaction between teams - cold, unsociable atmosphere. Individuals berated in front of colleagues for mistakes. Support staff (I.T, secretary’s and paralegals) are looked down on by fee earners. High turnover of staff.
