PwC NewLaw - AVOID
Pros: If you are a law post grad or a lawyer applying to this team I would seriously reconsider, the work isn't legal, it is spread sheets, power points for tenders and data manipulation/back office work. You will not gain negotiation or drafting experience in this team, it just doesn't seem to be the type of work they do at all (despite advertising otherwise) there is a massive focus on banking institutions and it's all very process driven. You will also be expected to come up the curve very quickly with little or no training, so be prepared to try and upskill yourself in addition to all of the other tasks they have you doing.
Cons: PwC itself as a company has good intentions, and throughout the covid pandemic it has released content on wellbeing etc and tried to do its best by staff. Good flexible working policy, however this can be limited by who your direct line manager is. Pay is average and you could work somewhere similar for a lot less hassle and less hours
