The boss resembles a toad and is called Garry. Odious creature Nigel the company mouth piece is extremely nauseous. Rob Stokes cheats on wife, he is a bum and Dr Shipman's best friend do us all a favour go join him. Steve Orford usually gets a taxi with his wardrobe packed it in it. Another dirty cheat BO central. And in Nick you won't find a finer perrick. TLDR a bunch of creeps right there in hierarchy and we only scratched the surface. Less
How do you feel about Obamacare?
2 Answers↳
This company is retarded. The question had no relevance to my position in HR. I have a masters and more experience required for this position, I am pretty sure they didn't like the fact that I wasn't prepared to speak about Obamacare. Less

I couldn't agree more! I am a current employee and quite honestly only until something better comes along. The people who "run the show" here do NOT have a clue! Ever hear of the phrase " right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing"? WELL at SGS Im pretty sure the right hand isn't even aware that there IS A LEFT HAND!!! They could CARE LESS about their workforce ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS $$$$$. I have personally watched middle management FLAT OUT LIE to employees AND lie ABOUT them! They do not think twice about throwing their employees under the bus- after all look at the turnover- there's a sucker born every minute and SGS will just hire another SUCKER to replace you! If you interviewed with them and didn't get hired, trust me they did you a FAVOR, because within 4-6 mo they would be piling up their standard "non-compliance" reason to get rid of you!!!! TERRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK FOR!!! Less

Questions were 1: Tell me about yourself. When I started to ask questions, I discovered that she had no details from client site about the job details and I was only given some very general answer.
2 Answers↳
She made me lose confidence the moment she wanted to send me an offer already. :)) If someone from Sapienza will read my review, maybe you consider a more in depth approach of your interviews to include the hiring manager and the interviewer to be more prepared. I didn't ask rocket science...all I had were questions related to the job, which she should have known, had she been prepared. Like this she only left me with some superficial image of the company. And my expectations before the interview were completely different. And yes, maybe you also do sth about pension and medical insurance or at least you increase the gross payment to allow for such payment coverage. Less

Since I can't edit this review...I am posting here a follow-up. A more senior recruiter I believe, has contacted me and has answered all my questions and had the approach I was expecting from an interview: ask me questions, ask them questions, explain to me their ways of working, walk me through the next steps. Still suggestion to Recruiting Manager remains....train properly your team...that initial contact impression with your company remains. Less
