Pros

After a lot of change, I think we are all starting to see the way forward. I can understand why there are some negative reviews too because a lot of people's noses were put out of joint during our integration but I think we've come out the other side in a better place. The values of our business are being lived. We are closer to our clients than ever before, I feel that the company really does care about my engagement and overall I think I'm very well rewarded for everything I do.

Cons

We work at a very fast pace and sometimes I think we need to focus on less projects than trying to do much.

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. We read every comment provided in the employee engagement surveys and look at the results and suggestions at our monthly leadership team meetings and make sure we take action to address any concerns, ideas or suggestions that have been raised. As well as Peakon, we're also holding regular dinners which is another opportunity for everyone to let us know what we're doing well and what we need to improve on- whether that's for our clients, ourselves or our community. Keep an eye out for the invitations. Feedback is hugely important to us so we encourage everyone to speak to their manager or any member of the leadership team at any time as well as use the more structured opportunities we provide to have your say.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
