Pros

Good base salary and most colleagues are very helpful. Hybrid working a plus.

Cons

Directors and MD are micro managers who scrutinise every email and record client meetings, sometimes without client consent. High turnover of staff, 80% of the team have changed within the last 12 months alone. Talented starters are ground down and then dismissed so a few key sellers can take over the accounts that they have developed. It really feels like boiler room sales with targets for number of emails, telephone calls, meetings, and actions on CRM all recorded and always increasing.

Pros

Junior, less experienced, and some senior lawyers may be able to land some engagements to list on their resumes. One or all may even help them find a permanent role or more temporary roles, but most likely they will spend considerable time without an engagement - "on the beach" - as it is known.

Cons

The harsh reality of platforms like Axiom is that they market themselves as an elite executive sandbox, but in practice, they often operate as high-volume, low-margin staffing agencies. This is Axiom. They capture the premium from the client, pay the attorney a relatively low hourly wage (your plumber and electrician probably make more), leaves the attorney with commoditized commercial contracts (NDAs, vendor MSAs), and trap true C-suite legal minds in a bureaucratic layer with minimal benefits.
