Pros

A fair employer, good benefits. Some slightly insecure middle management threatened by talent beneath them. Good support for off site training.

Cons

Every minute is billable as born from a law firm - this means recording every hour per code per week. Mourant struggles with lateral thinkers - the majority of the workforce are not university educated and they struggle when working on transactions with London based alwyers like Linklaters/Freshfields on international deals. On the job training from Directors on complex deals is non existent. Administrators are taught clients, not skills, so don't realise their worth.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.
