      Pros

      Great people to work with and learn from. Office culture is very professional and progressive. Great work\life balance and understanding for employees that have situations come up and need personal time or to work out scheduling issues.

      Cons

      Needs to offer up options for continued learning and personal growth. Not much room for advancement. Raises and bonuses are minimal for non-exempt employees. Current IT situation seems to be very scattered.

      Pros

      Good systems in place and clear team structure ensure that you have clear responsibilities and direction. Helps to give you the basics of the role / industry and will give you the exposure you need to progress in your career.

      Cons

      Poor pay and benefits- support staff had to take a pay cut to reduce salary, shortly after joining - due to the firm having a poor year. Not sure if the lawyers were asked to do the same.

      Very good people and culture, slow career progress

      Pros

      Having left Mayer Brown, I now realise how good people there were - really responsive and genuinely keen to do a good job. The culture is very cooperative and collegiate and there is no strict hierarchy. Low stress environment and good work life balance compared to other City law firms.

      Cons

      Career progress for non-lawyers is quite slow and could be demotivating. No clear career track is in place.
