Fox Tucker grabbed victory (again), with a 95% satisfaction score for the way it develops its staff. Whilst DLA Phillips Fox scraped the bottom of the barrel (25%) with complaints of shoddy leadership and a lack of investment in staff.
How staff feel about their career prospects is a key factor in how staff feel about their firms overall. And all seems very rosy over at Fox Tucker, where staff lavish praise on the "great buzz" and "easy to talk to" partners. Plus lawyers say they are all "very busy" with quality work, which is a good omen as far as their prospects are concerned. Taking second place with a very respectable 85% was Mills Oakley, which was praised for its "young partners" who are "down to earth and approachable" and a CEO who "takes time getting to know everyone".
Towards the latter end of the table Clayton Utz scored a lacklustre 36% (bottom from last). One associate complained "there has been a large turnover in staff recently with few staff being hired to replace them", and according to another "it takes a fair bit to be considered a good performer in terms of work hours and commitment." There were also grumbles about "intergenerational problems" with key rainmakers set to retire and the "chumps" left behind are, apparently, "largely socially inept".
Bumping along right at the bottom of the pack was DLA Phillips Fox with 25%. The firm was picked out in the comments for not investing in staff, who are "treated like shit and then they wonder why people leave".
