Pluspunten

Pay for pupil is decent.

Minpunten

1) Office is very dated 2) Toilets make gaza look like Disneyland 3) Shared Task wheel is worst than the wheel of the games of thrones - Calls would be made to the Pupils Pen and Pupils would be requried to accept the task - Pupils would then put the name into the game of spin the wheel, whoever's name it lands on, they would have to do it. - creates a situation where people can game the system and dodge the tasks given -the phone is placed in a position within the old pen that only pupils from that part of the pen will inevitably do more of the picking up compared to others. No system has been put in place among the pupils themselves to ensure there is fairness here. 4)The competition and FOMO suffered by pupils with the brainwashing system of try outs creates unnecessary stress and competition for pupils, making them think that being retained makes u king, not being retained means u are not good enough 5) toxic teams are the worst of the worst. with regards to the 'better' teams, comes with extra pressure to perform and maintain the grind to impress the superiors and higher ups 6)old culture and working style is still very influential here, hence why work life balance is nothing more than a facade 7)weekends and late nights are the norm, not the exception. Although this is an industry problem, it is intensified at big firms like shearn. 8] if you are not retained or tried out, dont expect too many substantial work to come your way. Your jobscope would mainly be shared task, transcribing, indexing, translating and so on.

Pluspunten

- One of the best firms in the country, with ample opportunity to engage in substantive work. - great location, with cheap food options nearby. - the reputation speaks for itself. - bar the cons experienced by the pupils, the toxicity isn’t bad for associates and above - the pay and benefits are decent

Minpunten

- I’d still agree largely with the review posted on June 11 2025. The ecosystem promotes unnecessary toxicity among pupilmates. If anything, a silver lining is that one could say that it gives you a fresh and immediate exposure to the reality of the legal profession. Cut throat. A dog eat dog world. - if you aren’t too sure about what you want to do in your legal career, be cautious. Do not be fooled by the rotation system. It may appeal to people that in good faith want to explore the different practice areas on offer. However, you will be left at a major disadvantage compared to your peers that opt to tactically aim for retention. As the saying goes - a jack of all trade, but a master of none. - your exposure to substantive work depends on whether you’re lucky enough to get a good master/ whether you’re interested in playing the politics of getting tried out/confirmed. At times, pupils will find themselves more engrossed with the facade of being retained rather than focussing on learning your trade.
