Eversheds Sutherland Reviews

Pros

A very friendly and welcoming place to work. From my first interview I knew this was a place I wanted to work, my experience from arranging my first interview until I was offered my role was a very positive one. Anyone you ask for help is always willing to assist, a full training schedule was in place for me when I started and I am still not under any pressure to be able to do new things - there is one to one support available along with extensive guides within the IT training pages. I feel very happy here and proud to say when asked that I work for Eversheds Sutherland.

Cons

So far I have none!

Pros

35 hour working week.

Cons

No opportunity to flourish. Self imposed hierarchy. Poor work ethic caused by poor management of support staff.

Advice to Management

You need to ensure that all your employees buy in to your core company values. There are no consequences for those that have a poor work ethic meaning that those who do come to work to work hard and take an interest in what they are doing often feel under valued, not appreciated and treated unfairly.

Pros

Good employee benefits Good salary Friendly team

Cons

Very targets driven, felt more like a number than a person Some people treated with favouritism (one rule for some and another for others) Not much responsibility, therefore not much chance to progress (either within the team or in other departments)

Pros

Friendly, and collegiate culture with good colleagues.

Cons

Salary, and pension could be better.

Pros

Good work/life balance, modern offices, good social events, friendly colleagues

Cons

Lack of progression, culture of secrecy amongst management

Advice to Management

Be less secretive about decisions and involve more levels of employee in projects and decision-making

Pros

Good people, work-life balance, innovative

Cons

Hard to fault, although bonuses are poor and reward chargeable hours far more than entrepreneurship and other non-chargeable activity. This despite very stellar firm performance and huge PEP gains. Also, lacking diverse leadership. The firm works very hard at gender diversity, but lacking in the rest.

Advice to Management

If you do not address the bonus scheme so that it rewards non-chargeable activity appropriately then you will lose diversity in your work force.

Pros

Friendly Staff Good Salary Excellent location to city centre

Cons

No career progression. Not enough social aspects.

Pros

Good job to have on your CV if you're fresh out of uni also have a great LGBT+ community

Cons

Not enough career progression and it's hard for feedback to reach Management
