Pros & Cons

  • KWM has a strong culture, both within teams and as an organisation. There are many opportunities to socialise at both levels, and the teams in which I have worked have been tight- knit.
  • The level of training and support - you feel very well connected and resourced to be able to learn.
  • I have observed many opportunities for career progression at KWM. Those who demonstrate diligence, hard work and commitment are rewarded.
  • Very flexible. No issue at all. Very accommodating.
  • We get free corporate gym membership, after hours transport/dinner, and can swap pay for leave.
  • It is challenging to constantly try and perform at a high level.
  • In the morning, you're never quite sure if it's going to be a busy day.
  • While better than other firms at this from what I've heard, culture can be team-dependent.
  • As a junior the most difficult part is figuring out what practice area or team you want to join.
  • Fluctuating hours... work always comes first.
