Pros

Good law firm, I guess?

Cons

Where to begin. The Racism is rife (lawyer referring to a colleague as a 'smelly brown guy', blackface incident at one of the Christmas parties, terrible D&I stats in the company generally, black lawyers don't stay for long, some partners have tried to have #alllivesmatter conversations with other staff, it's just BAD), sexism also rife (again, lawyers going through brochure of female partners and ranking them on attractiveness, lawyers referring to admin tasks as 'pink tasks').

Pros

There are some great people working in the firm.

Cons

Salary is not good, below market value. Not as inclusive as they claim to be. At the time of leaving, IT did not have a ticketing system. Not great at communicating issues to the business leading to frustrations towards Service Desk.
