Pros: The biggest plus is the quality of work and the exposure to high-profile projects across the UK. Lichfields has a great reputation in the planning and development sector, which is invaluable. Teamwork is generally strong, and there's a supportive atmosphere, especially within teams. Opportunities for training and progressing your career are definitely present, and leadership seems to understand the industry well. The firm offers good flexibility for consultants.
Cons: Like many firms in the town planning industry, workloads can become very demanding, particularly when deadlines pile up. This can occasionally impact work-life balance, though it's usually manageable. Communication on broader company-wide initiatives could sometimes be clearer, and the approval processes for certain internal matters can feel a bit slow, but these are minor points in the grand scheme of things.
Advice to Management: Consider streamlining some internal approval processes to improve efficiency. Also, maintaining clear communication channels during busy periods or periods of change would be beneficial for all staff.
