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.

Pros

Elevate has been in business for 15 years and awarded Best Place To Work. Elevate values diversity in all respects and listens to our colleagues in ensuring we create a great culture and provide top quality support to our customers. When there are issues, we are able to resolve them. I love working here.

Cons

As the company grows, it becomes harder to stay connected with global colleagues. We just need to be more intentional to find time and ways to stay connected.

Pros

You get some paid holidays off

Cons

Run far away. These people pay incredibly below market value. Believe in yourself. You can do better. There is a major disconnect between Elevate and the employer - and the employee gets the bad end of the deal every time. I have never worked someone with more unprofessional people who don’t take any accountability for their actions and promises. I didn’t get paid and was told “oh well we will get you the next pay period, 2 weeks later.” They don’t care about the worker bee. That is evident by the super low wages they pay. Someone with a law degree getting paid less than Kylie Jenner’s maid is pathetic.
