Pros & Cons

  • The flexibility - for example, working from home, being able to make up time when life gets in the way.
  • GT has a great working environment where people are helpful and kind.
  • A Graduate training programme with a 2-month training period before starting chargeable work.
  • Every week gets Friday half-day (Recharge) - currently on trial (as long as you hit your targets for the week).
  • Everyone is supportive and the culture is what attracted me to the firm.
  • No parking is available for staff except when partners make their car parks available.
  • High expectations even for grads to hit your targets and meet your budget.
  • Due to the nature of the job, it will be busier than usual during the busy season (mid-year).
  • Having to complete weekly timesheets.
  • The waterfall of work that flows from management, sometimes I am not given as much responsibility as I would like.
