Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're really pleased to hear that you find our partners approachable, enjoy working with our interesting mix of clients, and get value from the training sessions and our new office space. We take your concerns about job budgets seriously. You're absolutely right that balancing what clients can pay with realistic timeframes is tricky, and we know this creates pressure for our team. Your suggestion about increasing budgets or adjusting charge-out rates is really helpful feedback that we'll definitely take on board. We want to make sure everyone has enough time to do quality work without feeling rushed. Thanks for the honest feedback - it genuinely helps us understand what's working well and where we need to improve. If you'd like to chat more about your experiences or have other suggestions, please feel free to get in touch with management directly. Thanks again for being part of our team.

Pros

Managers care Good variety of clients Work load is pretty standard for the industry

Cons

Differences between how partners work, so various different expectations Internal politics - but not more than any other firm Some managers are known to get away with breaking rules that staff are pulled up on by partners

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and balanced review. It’s genuinely encouraging to hear that you’ve experienced supportive managers, a good mix of clients, and a workload that feels reasonable for the profession. We also appreciate the honesty around the challenges you’ve highlighted. The point you’ve raised about accountability at senior levels is an important one. We expect expectations to be applied fairly and consistently across the firm, and it’s helpful to hear how this can feel from different perspectives. We recognise that different partners will naturally have different working styles and client demands, this is one of the things that makes professional practice so interesting, but that shouldn’t translate into different rules or standards for teams. If you have any specific concerns you’d feel comfortable sharing, the People Team would welcome the opportunity to discuss them confidentially. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
