CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The overall firm as a whole has stunning decor and is very modern. Plenty of firm wide events and opportunities to network and meet others outside of your team. Small perks every now and then.

Cons

Extremely toxic environment within my department ever since the day I arrived. Should have taken into consideration some of these glassdoor reviews before accepting the role. Poor management with a complete lack of structure and direction. Culture is very uncomfortable and difficult to relax. Very disappointing.

Toxic Firm

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic client base, interesting work, plethora of Academy training sessions, swanky offices, canteen, prestige of the firm.

Cons

Incredibly toxic firm, with inappropriate comments made by team members about other team members. Lots of bureaucracy. Heavily focussed on billables rather than bigger picture. Very questionable behaviour from certain senior management. HR particularly good at doing nothing and turning a blind eye. Very poor work/life balance. Worst law firm I've ever worked at without a doubt.

Bad culture

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relatively nice London office in good location.

Cons

Toxic culture: internal politics, branding and appearances, and personality type is seemingly more important than genuine contribution and technical excellence. The result: the wrong people are usually promoted, the overall service to clients is often below market standards. It is not a happy firm.
