SSQ Reviews

Unfortunately the mice are actually not provided by the company as pets they are in fact unwanted invaders. In fairness to ssq they've been trying to get this sorted for a while - there's talk of an office cat. You don't get everything served to you on a platter, sad. The toilets are pretty grim - but the hotel over the road has top facilities with lovely hand cream. No one holds your hand, professionally speaking. You have to learn a lot for yourself - suits some, not others. End of month drinks quite sporadic - little bit tight on this, the Apex (hotel over the road, used as both supplementary toilet, and conversely watering hole) is very expensive and ssq could certainly pay for a few more drinks in my humble opinion.

Many of the Directors are ex lawyers and the type of environment you walk into is more law firm, less recruitment firm. The 'fun', 'celebrate success' type atmosphere of the larger (less mature perhaps) firms is well and truly gone. You go to SSQ not to make friends per say but to work hard and make very good money if you're good. suffice to say if you aren't billing at least 350k + per year, you will get very little recognition and feel pretty average. SSQ much stronger in law firm to law firm moves than in-house. It's dog eat dog there so be prepared for that
