    Worst job I have ever had
    The good thingsNothing, absolutely nothing.
    The challengesOlder employees treated the younger ones terribly, expected to work 10 hour days only get paid the normal 8. No training but expect you to know everything and to never make a mistake.

    Amazing work culture with fantastic benefits and great opportunities for training and development
    The good thingsThe best feature of the firm is how incredible the work culture is: Everyone is so friendly, supportive and accommodating. The work/life balance is also very good - Carroll & O'Dea don't just preach this benefit - they follow through and are very flexible and considerate with staff needs.
    The challengesNothing that I have encountered

    Great culture and a fostering environment
    The good thingsOne of the best things about working at CODEA is how approachable everyone is. You can walk into most partners' offices and they will give their time to help you where they can. They offered competitive salaries and I genuinely felt that the business wanted the best for me. Would highly recommend someone to work here.
    The challengesSeating arrangements can be a bit of a problem as the business has grown so much recently. This is dealt with well by management though.

    Not supportive when it matters
    The good thingsClose to good cafes. Close to public transport. Close to new court.
    The challengesConstant change due to non-cohesive work environment. Lack of planning and direction. Not addressing cause of problems.

    My experience was very good whilst working at codea.
    The good thingsIt feels like you're working at a family at Codea. Everyone is super friendly and there is an open door policy. The 'Speaker Series' they host and internal seminars are particularly good benefits.
    The challengesOpportunities for Law Clerks & Legal Assistant's to progress in the firm are limited.
