Pros

I don’t work there anymore.

Cons

I’d be here for a week drafting what I really thought & it’s honestly not worth the time. Don’t be fooled by the positive reviews as people were bribed with £100 to do so. Money driven, don’t care about employees, extremely stressful, poor overuse of AI, constant sackings, high turnover, constant anxiety about losing your job, just all round disgusting. Don’t bother if you want a career in law it will completely put you off law as it did with me despite the role not being law based more so complaints.
