Pros

Strong brand, great colleagues and some truly talented people, but sadly, we've lost many valuable team members over the past few years.

Cons

Since the change in senior leadership few years ago, things have been going downhill. There's a lot of favoritism and politics, and a drastic change is needed. Many employees don’t feel safe speaking up, which created to a culture of silence.

Pros

Peers are friendly, people are generally nice, brand is reputable, have large pool of existing clients, no candidate ownership issues.

Cons

Not applicable to all but from personal experience, manager was micromanaging, toxic and unethical. Very less presence in the office yet expecting unrealistic results/kpi from team. Say mean things and indirectly asking team members to leave.
