Allen & Overy SURVEY SAYS


Vault’s Verdict: Solicitors and trainees are more than satisfied with the calibre of work, less happy with the hours that work requires. Training is another high point, as is the firm’s sociable and inclusive culture. Some insiders wish the pay were more generous, but others say the beautiful offices and many amenities help round out the remuneration package.
