Pros

The company believes in grooming and developing its staff - and you can see how some of them have grown their careers all the way from interns to managers, directors and even office heads. Sure there have been management and operational challenges in recent years, but things have started to stabilise and one can see that it is definitely heading in a more positive direction. The management has also put in place some pretty solid changes that have brought significant improvements to the business all round - from improving staff morale and business performance, fostering closer teamwork, to increasing productivity and efficiency. No organisation is perfect, but I do credit Robert Walters for always trying its best and not giving up in the face of adversities.

Cons

It would be great if the company can consider having more flexible work policies in place - which could potentially be both a good attraction /retention strategy for existing and new employees.
