Gilbert + Tobin Reviews

G+T is very good at recognising and supporting high-achievers, and matches the ambition of its workforce.

Indigenous programs; strong pro-bono team; charity drives and morning teas.

The culture is excellent, during the day I mix often with people of all levels, who are always respectful and friendly. There are plenty of opportunities to get together outside of work and meet people from across the firm. These are not always over drinks too, which provides for healthier interactions around events like the city 2 surf and cycling charity days out.

Diversity training is provided by an external firm and of high quality. Female representation in partnership and leadership is much higher than at most other firms (and the majority of the workforce is female). Never seen any overt discrimination in the workplace- it's a tolerant environment

I am often given tasks above a graduate level but I am supported and enjoy this work.

My anecdotal experiences with managers have generally been good. While partners are often very busy and not always available, the time I have had with them has been very beneficial. One of the senior lawyers assigned as a mentor to me was incredibly busy, which has limited the feedback they have given me - I know this is not always controllable, however it has been a little disappointing.

Beautiful light, plants everywhere, standing desks, great water views, close to the water to go sit in outside. It's amazing. The dress code is not too formal, also rare for a law firm, and casual Fridays are great. Would be good to move to a "dress for your work day" model like PWC, if possible!

Two interviews, conducted in quite a casual manner. Mostly about my past experience. Talk to as many of the people as possible - this will give you a true sense of the culture to figure out whether the firm is a good fit for you.

Regular social events that are fun and different, dinner and taxis home after 8pm, subsidised event tickets, free tickets to footy (if unclaimed for client use).

All trainings are excellent. They're relevant and consistent.

G+T is good when it comes to flexible working arrangements. However, it is the nature of top-tier legal work that you will spend lots of unpredictable hours doing work.

6-star energy rating for Barangaroo.
