Pros

The firm is very friendly and all members of the firm that I have encountered during my time here are approachable. To me, it seems that there is a commitment to career development at this firm with managers taking an interest in the aspirations of colleagues. The firm shares its plans with colleagues in regular meetings and updates and is very open in terms of what it hopes to achieve and encourages staff at all levels to get involved in how we can best achieve it. Having worked at several law firms previously, I have not come across a firm as open with it's staff as this one. This firm actually seems to listen to it's staff and there seems to be a real drive to move the firm forward.

Cons

There has been a lot of change at this firm over the past 12 months. Understandably, this means that the firm is having to settle in to new systems and processes with new members of staff, which takes time.
