Pros

Global outlook, lots of cross-jurisdictional opportunities for work, have implemented a lot of positive work-related policies in the wake of COVID, good benefits, good opportunities to network across the firm, friendly approachable partners (MK TMT in particular)

Cons

work/life balance for juniors almost non-existent during the pandemic, requirement and expectation to always be available in some practice areas. In Scotland in some ways , this US-firm attitude of always being available and working "London hours" is expected on Scottish salaries. No firm-issued laptop for trainees - using Citrix is awful.

Pros

Everybody there cared about working together, no ambushing, The pay was great, hours and workload manageable, I loved this firm and would go back in a heartbeat! Shout out to IT and the Assistants - their cooperation is on the next level of the "united means success" the firm enjoys.

Cons

I didn't experience or hear about any in my 5 months there, and I was on-site 4-5 days a week. I only left because I needed to care for my Covid-stricken only child.
