good work culture excellent perks you enjoy the work what you do easy to get leave whe you are in urgency
Cons
very bad salary increment nobody listens the member of team seniority juniority problem no new ideas
Advice to Management
keep cool and talk more to the employees and increment should be uniform to some extent no partiality should be done in order to get the things done

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Ashurst full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Really collaborative BD team, excellent work life balance, strong mentoring and training from senior management, great feedback culture which is led by the firm's management and opportunities for progression.
Cons
Support staff get treated as sub-par employees to fee-earners. 70-80% of partners and lawyers are disgustingly rude and condescending to support staff on the regular. This is a regressive way to think as top talent won't stick around in that culture, and Ashurst has a negative reputation for this in the market globally.
If you can't stick out constantly being treated as less competent, intelligent or worthy as someone who has a law degree, Ashurst might not be the right place for you...Ashurst 2019-01-23 17:03 PST![Ashurst Logo]()
