Good for the CV, bad for everything else.
Pros: - You’ll work with very intelligent people.
- The flexibility is pretty good - working from home is encouraged in some areas.
Cons: - Consistently long working hours.
- Remuneration is very low compared to market.
- Development is scant and only available to a select few.
- Highly political environment - favouritism is rampant, decisions take a long time to be made.
- IT is antiquated and inadequate - the firm is largely run via spreadsheets.
- Middle management is not effective.
- The firm exists solely to benefit the owners i.e. the Partners - building a better working world for them only.
- Mental health issues are on the rise and are not being effectively addressed - staff are overworked and underpaid.
