Toxic management - high billing managers get away with bad behaviour, there is a long history of this Young workforce with huge drinking culture Low bonus structure compared to other agencies

Robert Walters Response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I’m glad you valued the collaborative team-based culture, and we’re proud of the strong market position we’ve built based on the quality of our service our consultants deliver to candidates and clients. However, I’m disappointed to read your cons, our leadership behaviours framework sets the benchmark for our managers and equips them to act with authenticity, care and an entrepreneurial mindset, and our team-based reward structure, which is unique in the industry, sets us apart from our competitors and ensures our clients and candidates receive the best service, and allows us to recognise the whole contribution of our people. That being said, we are always open to feedback – if you’d like, you can reach out to me at bridget.clarke@robertwalters.co.nz to arrange a confidential discussion. Bridget Clarke Senior Director, Wellington
