Best firm I've worked at - Solicitor Penningtons Manches Cooper Employee Review

Pros

The culture of the firm is genuinely nice. People are very friendly and supportive and it seems people are hired on the basis that they fit this mould. Generally nice clients and the work/life balance beats much of the rest of the City. David Raine (CEO) seems to really care about his people and there are frequent 'thank yous' from the management team, especially during lockdown.

Cons

Lower salary than other City firms but this is reflected in the better hours. Could be more mixing between teams and floors in the London office but management is clearly trying to rectify this so the position should hopefully improve as time goes on. More diversity is definitely needed - the overwhelming majority of senior staff in my (large) team are male and pale, sadly.
