Spread too thin
Pros: Opportunities to get involved in new projects, business development opportunities, and to upskill through training and conference attendances (virtually these days!)
Cons: The firm is ambitious and seeks, like many others, to get more from less. It spreads itself and its people too thin, is unable to truly become an expert in something, and will expect non-chargeable work like business development to be done no matter how many days a week you're spending on chargeable projects. Your 35 hour week contract is never met and your days are hugely fragmented. Partners not always present. It's a sink or swim company.

It's pushing a big, aggressively liberal left-modernist agenda on people, changing its in-house assessment criteria based on race, and has gone overboard on diversity and inclusion. It's getting folks down and ruffling feathers with the constant training / messaging.
