Pros

Early career corporate exposure (IB) and understanding of key compliance frameworks.

Cons

The company suffers from unclear expectations and constantly shifting project structures, with internal promotions perceived as insular. Recurring issues are often ignored, employee turnover is very high, and there is little opportunity for career progression. Work tends to be repetitive, pay is below average, and performance standards are unrealistic. The transparency with clients is concerning and the office culture is weak despite a mandatory three-day in-office requirement, and equipment and IT support are inadequate, with underpowered laptops and frequent technical issues.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We're glad the early exposure to compliance frameworks added value to your career trajectory. The range of concerns you've raised, from clarity of expectations and career progression to IT infrastructure and office culture, is significant. They describe a day-to-day experience that we clearly didn't get right for you. Feedback of this depth is exactly what our leadership team needs to hear, and it will be shared internally. We would eagerly welcome a more detailed conversation. If you're willing to speak further, you can write directly to our APAC People Head, Yogesh Bendre (yogesh.bendre@elevate.law). We're sorry your experience fell short of what we aspire to offer.

If only you can speak, manipulate the senior management, you will be well liked.

Poor management, senior management has no interest in employees & assumed that work is always done by the manager.

Pros

The only pro is of remote working. The management keeps unreasonable expectations.

Cons

The non supportive management keeping unreasonable expectations and being non responsive to the needs of the employees.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, even as a former employee. Remote working as the sole positive — paired with unsupportive management and unreasonable expectations — tells us something important: the structural flexibility we offered wasn’t matched by your day-to-day human experience of working here. That's a gap we don’t intend to paper over. Strong management is something we're deliberately and continuously building, by investing in how our managers communicate, set expectations, and respond to the needs of individual team members. We're sorry we didn't get that right during your time with us, and we’re really keen to learn more about your experience. You can write directly to our APAC People Head, Yogesh Bendre (yogesh.bendre@elevate.law).
