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.

RecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Eversheds Sutherland full-time for more than 5 years
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.
