Pros

The pay and insurance is good

Cons

The company has an EXTREMELY TOXIC culture. you are expected to work like a robot without having any feelings. Literally anything you say will be held against you. Not a single member of the management believes in 'work-like balance. Lol infact the company emphasizes on 'work-life harmory'. from the CEO's very own words - "there is no such thing as work-life balance, it is a hoax created by the people during the pandemic because they needed something to talk about, work like balance does not exist". The chant 'feedback culture, feedback culture' , but you will never receive any direct feedback, instead it will be shared behind your back and to your manager. There is no sympathy towards any employee and you are expected to work day and night without uttering a single word. they hire and fire like people's livelihoods are a joke. extremely inexperienced managers without leadership qualities and no backbone to support their team members.

I appreciate you leaving your thoughts. I understand that the hours are not your average 9-5, but because we work in client service we must ensure that we put our clients first. This then allows us to put our employees first by offering competitive remuneration and well-being support. Our associates become managers ~5 years earlier than elsewhere, as we empower them from an early stage. We provide them with the autonomy to succeed in their roles, and can trust them to effectively coach a team as we provide them with the support and training they need. Empathy is one of our core company values, and we live and breathe it day in and day out. Yes, you have to be ambitious to succeed here, but we know the importance of celebrating our collective successes as a firm. I apologise we weren't the right fit for you, and I wish you success in your next endeavor. - Many thanks, Gabriela, CMO

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
