Pros

London Farringdon office has a nice staff restaurant. Pays ok but not spectacular particularly for the long hours.

Cons

Led by a narcissist- the whole marketing and communications department is beyond toxic. Never met so many people experiencing mental health problems particularly anxiety. Scapegoating, bullying, gas lighting and back stabbing are rife. The workload is chaotic. Many people set up to fail. People threatened with performance management plans for minuscule reasons particularly if you have been there less than 2 years - senior leadership seem to see destroying peoples confidence as good leadership. Much better places to work out there. Don’t judge all professional services firms on this one. The culture is awful here. Senior leadership blatantly lies to destroy people that don’t fit their mould of blind following and acceptance of bad treatment.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
