    What’s it like working at DLA Piper?

    AI summary of recent reviews
    Employees at DLA Piper appreciate the flexible working policy, training and development opportunities, and the firm's global reach as an international firm. The flat structure, friendly vibe, and inclusive culture are also seen as positive aspects.

    However, there are some potential challenges, such as issues with management, particularly regarding resourcing and decision-making. Additionally, there can be long working hours, including weekends and overtime, leading to a heavy workload. As an international firm, there is a perception that the organisation is UK-centric, with decisions primarily made in the UK. Furthermore, some employees find the strong emphasis on reaching billable hours challenging.
