Pros

Incredibly smart and driven colleagues both in fee-earning and business services; excellent reputation; respectful and inclusive culture; down-to-earth, friendly, genuine people; excellent career opportunities for those willing to work hard, be bold and try something new

Cons

Every organisation should be striving to improve its performance, working environment, engagement and culture and Freshfields is no different. But there is nothing that stands out to me as a "con" of working here. If there was I would have moved on a long time ago.
