What are the worst things about working at your firm?
2011 Reviews

  • The long/unpredictable hours.

    Helpful?

  • Sometimes communication between HR and trainees is not top notch and there are delays in getting messages across.

    Helpful?

  • The hours. The pressure. The mundane tasks.

    Helpful?

  • Perhaps not enough secondments for everyone to get a go at foreign ones.

    Helpful?

  • Still feels a little hierarchical and, as with all training contracts, the hours can be the longest on the most thankless tasks.

    Helpful?

  • I genuinely cannot think of any.

    Helpful?

  • The hours in transactional seats.

    Helpful?

  • The lack of green space anywhere near by on sunny days!

    Helpful?

  • Lack of transparency regarding pay rises.

    Helpful?

  • Not really ever being thanked/appreciated for the sheer amount of work done.

    Helpful?

  • The lack of communication when decisions are being made. The qualification process for my intake (only a few months ago) was a particularly stressful time, made harder by the lack of communication and the unnecessarily long amount of time it took to communicate decisions.

    Helpful?

  • Pay is not at US levels, the hours can be very long at times in the transactional departments, poor communication is still an issue sometimes.
