Pros

They do not micromanage and give you the freedom to complete your work as you see fit.

Cons

Horrible internal culture- constant problem with stealing candidates from each other. Onboarding training does not prepare you for the job. They don't show you best practices for success within the company. They just teach you how to source within the systems, dupe check, how to send an app and online assessment. All the internal and back end of the hiring process within their system is not really taught. No way to complete all the training and task associated with training within 8 hours. So either you fall short or work overtime for free as you start a 8 week process of onboarding training. Sourcing is a nightmare. You have to check between 3 systems to verify if the candidate is available to send one, reach out. Very time consuming and the system is not streamlined at all. Very little collaboration because everyone is in competition with each other. Imagine hundreds of recruiters going after the same candidate. All in all, it's not organized and not a great place to work. There is no work life balance here.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
