Robert Walters reviews

There is a lack of transparency about bonus systems - which has never been fully disclosed. It really depends on the team you join (work style, environment, jobs etc) - which could either make or break you. There is quite a lot of internal politics in the company - which some end up using to their advantage. Although the company upholds itself as a 'team based unit' etc, this is not the case and if you wish to get into this kind of job - you work only for yourself. This is not verbally communicated of course but it is evident. While the company has good internal opportunities if you are successful, outside of being a recruiter the longer you stay as a recruiter the more difficult you will find it to get a career elsewhere. The skills you develop there aren't really transferable to much else, unless of course you want to be a sales person for the rest of your career. You don't really become an expert in anything - arguably you are an expert in pretending to be an expert. You could even write a term paper on the work environment there comparing it to modern day 'taylorism.'

Terrible culture and horrible managers.
