Pros

A really intelligent business law firm with a dynamic global strategy. Opportunities are endless if you want to progress. They'll push you to excel, and try position you in a place where you want to be in you career. People are generally polite/respectful and committed - the culture of the firm demands it. Given the size of the firm, there are many opportunities for work travel/secondments. The company has a 'fight forever' mentality. They won't stand still and won't settle for second.

Cons

Some fee earner -v- support staff tension, but the same exists in all law firms. Certain areas of management do not take responsibility for disengaged/poor performing staff. A reputation for not paying market rates for business professions. However, the benefits offered are very competitive.
