Vantaggi
Lower people in the ranks are actually nice people but all disappointed with the direction of the firm.
Svantaggi
Ancient working behaviours, sexist male behaviour very common, favouritism, don't believe in flexible working, preach values but that is it don't act with values 99% of the time. Impossible structure for non fee earners to flourish, you do the leg work above and beyond for fee earners, partners and associates but never appreciated, humiliated, blamed for their shortcomings, spoken down to, if you decide to start a family you are forgotten and side lined. I've seen many come and go. Working from home is hated due to micromanagement across departments, pay is significantly lower to market rates, its a world for those above. Top heavy structure with you selling your sole and energy to them for little in return unless your male and a fee earner. No pay for extra hours its an expectation, I would never recommend a company like this to anyone. Hard to believe these methods are so common at a company in the modern working life.
