Lovely place to work. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Mills & Reeve

The people are not only nice but very good at their jobs. The offices are great, there is an authentic positive culture and management really do care what staff think. For a law firm you will struggle to find a nicer place to work.

It’s not a sweat shop but it’s still a law firm. Firm growth target is high. Pay and bonus could be much better, and hasn’t been as good more recently. There is a turnover of staff which needs addressing. Large partnership structure where partners are all paid the same as equity partners elsewhere means pay is lower for the rest than it should be. This can negatively affect morale amongst more senior FEs who are not partners given their workloads. Fair pay should not be a trade off for not having to work 15 hour days and weekends. Most FEs work 10-12 hour days and should be paid better for that.

Good training opportunities and generally nice people to work within the team. You have the option to move around the business into different roles. Nice office spaces.

Pay below market rate, valued in praise but not pay recognition for your progression and increase in skills. Large company that you can't really impact, a lot of red tape and knowing the right people to make changes.
