DAC Beachcroft Reviews

A very, very difficult company to work for. Your work is primarily judged on how much time you put on the chargeable clock regardless of all the other non chargeable client facing and administration work you do. Line managing Partners are micro managed to micro manage fee earning staff. No thought is really given to whether the workload is manageable and a culture of fear of not hitting the targets has developed. Wellbeing is said to be considered in the form of fancy intranet forums or dial in hubs...but the reality is ...you don't have time to engage with this as you are too busy trying hit unrealistic/Unhealthy expectations.

Targets set are unrealistic and put way too much stress on an individual Pay is terrible and criteria for bonuses are ridiculous They promote flexible working and work/life balance but expect you to work way past your contracted hours Problems you flag are swept under the rug Very poor staff retention, which puts added pressure on remaining staff - people leave quicker than they can be replaced Management treat lower level employees like they’re dispensable Very poor organisation Management admit when they’ve done wrong but then don’t do anything to rectify it 3 month notice period makes it almost impossible to get another job until you’ve handed in your notice - I’ve spoken to multiple recruiters who’ve all said ‘they’ve never heard of anything like it’ Ridiculously high case load
