Pros
Very supportive when it comes to training with high quality tuition which helped me through my exams. There are plenty of opportunities to progress internally as well. There’s a brilliant atmosphere which facilitates good working relationships. PEM have a culture which encourages socialising with colleagues inside and out of work with opportunities such as pottery classes, trips to Cambridge Mosque and regular pizza nights! Moreover, the partners throw great events such as pub quizzes, Christmas, Summer and leaving parties. These are just some of the benefits I’ve experienced which made work life so enjoyable and allowed me to build strong friendships (it really is what you make of it!) Overall there’s a very positive culture which provides a brilliant environment to work in.
Cons
PEM are growing quickly while lacking the resources to do so harming work life balance, however, managers and partners encourage charging overtime which isn’t common at other firms.
