Pros

Good pay, mostly friendly people, amazing onboarding process

Cons

Very clear on their favourites and will only seek to promote them, unfairness in pay - was on less money than a new joiner with less experience - and very unorganised.

Pros

- Culture used to be good and some members of SLT still hold those values - Decent benefits - WLB can be good compared to previous firms I worked at particularly in advisory practice areas

Cons

- Pay disparity between regional and London is ridiculous given the hour expectation doesn't differ (and often the regional teams are busier than London) - Management seems to want to take a different direction than the previous culture but won't directly tell staff that - Bonus structure is ambiguous and frustrating. Exceeding target hours isn't sufficient which is bizarre? Would you rather we hit target and spent the rest of our time doing stuff that doesn't make the firm any money or just did the minimum? - Culture of fear seems to be increasing - Senior leadership can be oddly gossip driven - Lack of appreciation for boundaries
