Pros

Nice location, career growth as an early starter

Cons

Horrible treatment to business support - might improve as AI replaces them. Heard terrible stories on the treatment of staff. Turnover is bad, look at publicly available solicitor numbers and you will see a decline / no change even after takwing eversheds teams

Pros

None whatsoever. Can't think of a single good thing. Hellhole from the ground floor all the way to the roof garden you'll never get to see

Cons

Had to take a deep breath before walking in to steel myself. Many days I cried in the bathroom. So that's definitely a con.
