Advice to law firm management:
Stay for 2-3 years and then move on.... not worth staying as any effort and dedication to the firm will not be repaid.
Pros:
The firm expends a lot of time and effort in training and new developments. Support staff generally very good and knowledgeable.
Cons:
Very much a 2 tier environment. The Directors tend to be very arrogant and dismissive of associates. The culture has changed over the years with very little transparency and heavy politics.
