Addleshaw Goddard deeply unpleasant place to work.

Pros - Some genuinely interesting work if you're in the right place at the right time. Generally a nice bunch of co-workers
Cons - 1) 18k is the starting salary and is the salary you will likely stay on regardless of performance or billable hours. 2) senior paralegals typically earn around 22K and there is no clear progression route to get there. 3) Bonuses - don't be silly. you'd be lucky to get a few 100 whilst your friends in other industries are getting 10% bonuses and pay rises.

Addleshaw Goddard Good Name, bad experience

Pros - Having AG on your CV can open up a lot of doors in the industry
Cons - As a paralegal, your line manager is unqualified and rarely has a detailed enough knowledge of the work you undertake to provide you with relevant guidance. Paralegals are often used as mass admin for projects rather than given opportunities to gain knowledge.

It could be a lot better.

Pros - The only pro to this job is that you now have the name of one of the biggest firms on your CV
Cons - There is a reason many people quit this job like flies. They treat you like robots and you are monitored soo much but if you like unnecessary stress and fast paced environment then this boring job is for you.

Very unpleasant place to work.

Pros - Nice office, good equipment some of the IT co-workers are really great people
Cons - Bullying, finger-pointing and failure is entrenched in the entire culture of Business Services. Anybody with talent or ambition has left, leaving very little behind to bring about the changes required in the firm. People here are either very unhappy and looking to leave or serial under performers.

Worst experience of my career!

Pros - Nice offices and friendly support staff
Cons -I consider myself a robust/resilient person. Egotistical partners who lack the ability to forward plan for resources and take it out on their staff. Uninspiring work. Disgruntled staff.
