I like that B&M is an all around big player - we are doing mergers/acquisitions across several industries for different clients (and also have our own team). It's been nice to be able to share ideas between disciplines within my department. Being located here has made it easy to meet up outside of work as well! There can sometimes seem too much going on during working hours which impacts productivity but there isn't really anything you could do about this - just make sure your colleagues know how busy things get when they're at their desk :) Having access to top lawyers from so many countries makes life easier. As mentioned above though, being located near other offices does mean meeting people away from the workplace can be difficult.
