Pros

Plenty of internal mobility opportunities within the UK and globally. The company is growing incredibly quickly and it was exciting to be part of that. Friendly and knowledgeable people. Good team working environment.

Cons

Being part of the Robert Walters Group you have to work Recruiter hours and it was sometimes understaffed which meant work/life balance wasn't always great.

Pros

Good team environment, supportive management, international opportunities and a very clear path to progression. Offices around the world are in the best locations and there is a genuine culture of professionalism. It's a great place to build a long term career and there are lots of opportunities for those who work hard.

Cons

Hours may be a little long for some but they're fairly standard for the industry. There's good work/life balance and flexibility when it's needed.

Pros

if you're sure on joining the recruitment industry - good place to start. Otherwise, very little skill transferability to any other industry. If you're keen to suck up to everyone and generally be a follower - good place to work; as it is NOT a commission based house - this is a double-edged sword as commission/bonuses will depend on subjective criteria such as how well-liked you are by management. The work is VERY simple, so work life balance IS possible, however, not encouraged.

Cons

Experienced hires, be ready to be micromanaged to death. Terrible medical, leave and other benefits by market standards. Does not appreciate critique of processes or managers. As the work is very simple, work-life balance is possible, however office culture looks down on those who leave on time regardless of KPIs and sales numbers hit.
