Pros

For fee earners (which I am not), it appears to be a very rewarding organisation and there are plenty of opportunities to develop and grow careerwise plus lots of attractive incentives (lunches, trips to Vegas, opportunities to work abroad etc). The charity day is incredible as it brings people together; everyone goes all out to raise as much money as possible for charity, whilst having fun. I can't wait for the Christmas party! A great plus is that some of my colleagues have been here longer than 5 years and love working here.

Cons

The contractual hours are longer than anywhere I have worked previously (42.5 hours a week) with no option to flex/work from home. Diversity is also lacking and I am not aware of any diversity initiatives.

Hi, and thanks for your review. I'm glad to hear you find working for us rewarding, and that you feel able to grow in your career. Your point on flexible working is a valid one, and we're continuing to look into the options because we know this is something our people ask about quite often. We do have a Diversity & Inclusion group that brings together people from across the business to ensure we are doing all that we can to enable and encourage a diverse workforce. We know we can do more to increase our diversity, and that's why we've created the space for discussion and action. If you'd like to know more about the work of the group – or be involved yourself – then do please email me at indy.lachhar@robertwalters.com). Many thanks, Indy Lachhar (Group Head of Talent Development).

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
