Pros

Excellent trainings and great branding. Used to have great culture and work environment with bustling sales floor and consultants were very motivated to place the right people in the right company. Consultants believed in what they were doing.

Cons

Change in management, and passionate about people no more - both towards clients, candidates and their very own employees. Management milk consultants for revenues instead of leading by examples; bringing people who are obviously misfit for the role and firing good people who had some bad months due to the market conditions as well as a huge cut in resources; extremely focused on KPIs till fake KPIs were recognised as hardworking; Very focused commercially on the placement fees rather than advising candidates/clients on decision making. From almost 100 people to less than 50 now?
