      Poor diversity and not a good place to work if you're not cut from the same cloth

      Pros

      Nothing that is worth sacrificing your identity.

      Cons

      Despite the external fanfare of M&R receiving accolades for being a 'great place to work' , my experience has been completely the opposite and that is most likely to be because of my background. M&R's trainee cohort for the last 10 years speaks for itself. I have sat in meetings where racist comments have been made in front of partners yet no formal action has been taken. You will fit in if you're a certain type of 'person' with a certain type of personality otherwise you will quickly be marginalised. M&R has good reviews because the reviews are conducted by like-minded people from the same background who share the same interests and the same archaic values. M&R's clients are diverse but their workforce isn't. I have been close to crumbling because of this firm but thankfully I was able to get through it however others may not. Please consider twice before joining if you're a talented lawyer from a 'different' background.
