Pros
Some great people in the office, who work hard, are genuine and do a good job. However most of them are leaving (or are in the process of doing so).
Cons
Unprofessional in promotions, performance or any HR related issues. You either need to be a "favourite" (female and very attractive), or from the right background (public school), to get ahead. Sadly, it is much harder to get promoted if you are a woman who isn't prepared to flirt / flatter. D&I is paid lip service. HR are indiscreet. They have little influence over the business or ability to drive a positive culture or working practices. Whilst there are many great Partners in the business, the most influential are ego driven bullies, surrounded by people who flatter their egos. They are rude and regularly throw their weight around. Everyone else is expected to tip-toe around them. It feels like being in a 1980's law firm. The Group Leadership don't really have the clout to hold the Partners to account either. They talk a good game but in reality can't do much. On the outside this looks like a great firm, but unless you are male, privately educated and know senior people in the business this is not the place to progress.
