Pros

pay is good, though bonuses have been very poor for several years

Cons

Colleagues are good, but middle management is neither inspiring staff nor executing on corporate goals

Pros

A fair employer, good benefits. Some slightly insecure middle management threatened by talent beneath them. Good support for off site training.

Cons

Every minute is billable as born from a law firm - this means recording every hour per code per week. Mourant struggles with lateral thinkers - the majority of the workforce are not university educated and they struggle when working on transactions with London based alwyers like Linklaters/Freshfields on international deals. On the job training from Directors on complex deals is non existent. Administrators are taught clients, not skills, so don't realise their worth.

Very Mundane

Pros

It is a pretty relaxed environment, people are great and it seems as though most people enjoy their jobs, and look forward to coming to work.

Cons

The job is very repetitive, wish there was a little bit more opportunities to explore the portfolio accountant position, but its a great start.
