Gherson Reviews

The company culture is so vitriolic that protective eyewear and clothing should be worn at all times. The volcanic temperament of the principal partner has the entire firm on tenterhooks, ready to push their colleague, neighbour or ailing grandmother into the line of fire of his despotic wrath. Training contracts are dangled like carrots but are in fact more stick. The so called 'green' team is ironically named as those imprisoned there have not seen greenery, nor sunlight for many months. HR only exists as executioner. Those who have survived for a number of years are institutionalised, feeling their longevity marks them as special rather than suffering from Stockholm syndrome. These long-termers are often key contributors to the hostile and muck-raking atmosphere. Friday afternoons are a sort of sacrificial ceremony initiated by a phone call from the practice manager. The lamb then marches off to its fate whilst IT slip in and remove their access. This is in fact the best thing that can happen to you at the firm. Liberation.

This place is one of the most hypocritical immigration law firms I've ever come across in that it only pretends to defend human rights. In reality, it's just a scandalous safe haven for oligarchs. The core policy at heart of this firm is divide and rule; literally encouraging staff to turn on each other, gossip and chat nonsense behind each other's backs to win the CEO's approval. No, training, no supervision, no support whatsoever and constant torment in return for high expectations, long hours of work, 24/7 availability and sucking blood transfusion to further the cause of the boss.
