Pros

The office is nice, and in a good location. This is probably the only positive I can think of.

Cons

- There is absolutely no empowerment. At my level I would expect to be taking decisions, leading a team, exercising a degree of autonomy. The work I have been doing I would be embarrassed to delegate to an apprentice. - There is little opportunity for development or progression, with line management responsibility largely removed for Senior Associates - a really baffling decision - Pay transparency very poor - Work is incredible tedious, slow and boring. I've not done a single piece of meaningful or interesting work since I started. - I felt misled by the recruitment process and I do not accept that the role I was sold is what I've ended up with. I'll be leaving shortly, after less than a year. Several colleagues I know have done the same

Pros

Everyone in the office was kind and willing to help, which was great as an intern.

Cons

I had a very heavy workload and the staff was spread thin while I was there. It's more the fault of bad timing than the office itself though.
