Pros

The colleagues were lovely and I enjoyed working on different matters at my team.

Cons

The training and general supervision needs to be clearer and more organised because there were instances when I had to learn a completely different approach on using some of the software than what I was taught during the training sessions. It would have been fine later when I got used to the role better but this just left me confused and frustrated. Supervision was a bit lacklustre and the team had contrasting standards on how email correspondence should be drafted. I felt like my supervisor did not really want to supervise me as their critique lacked guidance on how I can improve on certain things (some of the feedback was not even communicated to me until later) and they were also very busy handling client matters. Pretty clique - if you don't fit their standard of a person and not willing to handle a combo of PA and paralegal jobs, you are out. They do not accommodate neurodivergent people in the role.

Pros

At a day to day level, the experience is pleasant. Though having spoken with peers, seems this can vary a little depending on the team. Purpose led objectives and operating in sectors that make the grind feel more worthwhile; it's not cold, corporate big money deals.

Cons

There's rhetoric about development and fairness, but there's some clear instances of inconsistency and (what looks like) favouritism when it comes to development opportunities and career progression. Feels like you'll get on if your face fits or you have a strong relationship with the right Partner (i.e. an equity Partner). Pay and benefits are not competitive. At a junior level, this is a place to cut your teeth if no other better options. Then go get your money elsewhere. Diversity is poor. Little is happening on the DEI front. Staff networks (Women's, and Parents and Carers) are inactive. Management is varying. Real pot luck as to the quality and level of line management you get.
