      Pros

      Very supportive work place, great culture, good people, good management, forward-looking, flexible working (relatively), efficient systems and processes. Enjoyed working here.

      Cons

      Long hours and hard work, although partners were the hardest working of the lot. This is to be expected of a law firm though so I wouldn't complain about that.

      Pros

      A really intelligent business law firm with a dynamic global strategy. Opportunities are endless if you want to progress. They'll push you to excel, and try position you in a place where you want to be in you career. People are generally polite/respectful and committed - the culture of the firm demands it. Given the size of the firm, there are many opportunities for work travel/secondments. The company has a 'fight forever' mentality. They won't stand still and won't settle for second.

      Cons

      Some fee earner -v- support staff tension, but the same exists in all law firms. Certain areas of management do not take responsibility for disengaged/poor performing staff. A reputation for not paying market rates for business professions. However, the benefits offered are very competitive.
