Atrocious - Solicitor Bishopsgate Law Employee Review

Extremely top heavy "management" structure where a board of directors do very little. The left hand doesn't know what the right one is doing. Outside of that the broader management structure is useless. Many months of promises of improved conditions and systems lead to nothing at all. Complaints fall on deaf ears. Systems that are (apparently) worked on for months never seem to materialise either. When staff develop their own they're chastised as though the ominous "fixing system" will address the wider problems but as it never appears staff are forced to create their own. Their hands are tied. When issues do occur management are slow to react. Dithering is the firm's main achievement. Everything feels extremely unprofessional you can tell this in the way some of those in leadership speak to and about others. Every colleague I had (and myself) were almost always over capacity with work. If you were to voice you were struggling nothing would change or you'd be lied to and advised you would receive no more files for a duration (and then would receive some more) Obscenely high targets are set that no one can reasonably expect to achieve. Bonus opportunities are impossible because the firm asks for far too much in impossible conditions. The firm want to give the appearance of having it together but are extremely disorganised. The turnover has been markedly higher than other firms I've spent time in which I think is a real tell as to culture. The friends I did make there are desperately unhappy.
