started with so much promise but ruined by poor management
Pros
- The UK arm of an American giant Findlaw, a Thomson Reuters Business - Looks good on the CV - Invited to use the facilities of the whole TR group - Same incentives/benefits as rest of TR group eg company health scheme - Great Christmas party with no expense spared, with 4000 people attending - Selling seo, websites - good learning for the future
Cons
high staff turnover - promised a career given nothing - senior management loves politics - awful office next to scrap yard in Earlsfield South London - product doesn’t work so salespeople have to lie for a living - Find law uses Contact Law staff, a solicitor referral service that also has a very bad rep in the market. - Project managers, website designers and content writers are all based in the USA. - Projects (websites) are delivered late and full of problems- although I am told this is being changed - Management slow to react to anything - it took them 18months to admit there was a problem with products. - Staff moral is low - US management are deluded and think that UK legal market is like US despite having poor sales for the last 3 years. - mass sums of compensation is given out due to Findlaw ruining websites and projects - lots of angry and dissatisfied customers - All resources from TR are usually given to Contact Law, with Findlaw the neglected runt of the litter
