Pros

If you are looking for a challenging an Rare nice environment to work in Recruitment, please contact MA! The Management does everything to make you feel well and efficient to the ones who are motivated and hard worker: Conditions, Trust, Recognition, Nice atmosphere (some of the people tend to believe they don't have any pressure from the management), great Support and Career Path (for the ones asking for it). The Management is also doing something unusual; they are listening to you and considering... never refusing at first, like at the competition... Amongst the employees, there is such a great atmosphere and this my first company where I feel: you like spending time with your colleagues... Again, this company is amazing for what they can offer : Humanly and professionally speaking!

Cons

Like in every companies, some decisions can always be seen in a negative way, because of affecting people. Especially in a period like Corona Virus, where everyone is panicking for his own sake... but at the end, the most passionnated and motivated ones (not to offend the others) decided to stay put... again, every environments has his pros and cons... and thankfully, it is because there are Cons... that this company can still improve itself today!

Pros

First of all, this is not a general review but a personal one. I left Montreal Associates before the crisis so I’m mainly going to speak about my time there. No one asked me to write this. If you’ve got any comment regarding my review, you probably got my phone number or my LinkedIn so feel free to contact me. - Make friends for life - Great office location - Best managers I ever had - Great trainings - You can get support from absolutely every single employee. - Salary are low ? > make deals, money will follow I left Montreal Associates beginning 2020 and I’ve worked in 2 recruitment agencies since then. When I look back, I’m just grateful to have been part of the MA family. I arrived in the best team of MA. I was managed and mentored by two person who advise and inspire me a lot. My colleagues were really welcoming and helpful. I was coming from a KPI driven recruitment agency, so arriving at MA with their different approach regarding the performance of their sales consultant was more than appreciable. The member of my team and the board of the company has gave me the chance to prove my worth when I was only 20 years old and I will always be grateful for that. Everybody was very easy to talk with, it goes from the Senior Sales Consultants, to the Managing Director without forgetting the HR service. You just need to take your bal** to go and talk to them when you’ve got something to say. When I had issues regarding my personal life I went to Matt, the Head of HR. He helped me a lot to deal with this difficult time and I knew, back then, that I had his full support as well as the one of David and my manager. Montreal is and will stay the best period I had during my time in London so far and if I’m doing well today in my career it’s because they had the silly decision to trust a 20 years old guy. I can only be grateful for that.

Cons

- Too many french people in the London office - Casual dress code (not a fan, I rather have suits) - Sales culture can be improve - Covid crisis management A lot of my colleagues and/or friends suffered during the Covid crisis. Even if I wasn’t part of the company anymore, I was following the situation really closely and I’m sorry for what happened to some of my friends. From what I know, certain decisions could have been better and the communication could have been improve. Difficult choices had to be done and I can understand completely that some people are upset and/or disappointed. Unfortunately, even knowing what happened to some of my friends during the crisis and how disappointed some people are, I just cannot forget all the magic moments that I spent in this company, with these people. I just hope that the people who will read this review will feel the same as me... (FYI : I was unemployed during the lockdown, not even in furlough. It was difficult for everybody, no need to cry and complain, just smile and move forward ;) ) Peace and love guys ! K
