Simmons & Simmons reviews about "hour"

Average pay with longer hours

Long hours at times but generally not too bad

Medium end of the pay scale - partners have zero EQ

Hours worked match those expected in professional services

Very long hours, a lot expected

HK office is shrinking in size, hyper focus on billable hours, not many opportunities for associate development, management has no long term vision

Poor onboarding and insufficient communication from the line manager; Extended working hours without any compensation/appreciation; Unclear and poorly prepared instructions from fee earners; A blame-oriented culture in which fee earners attribute their own errors to support staff; Limited opportunity for staff in non-senior positions to have their concerns acknowledged or addressed; The feedback system lacks clarity and objectivity, is frequently unsupported by specific examples, and does not adequately verify the source of feedback, leading to misunderstandings and confusion.

Long hours, low pay, management issues

Long hours, not enough seating.
