Pros

Great team around you, fun, outgoing.

Cons

Management is very male dominated with a relaxed approach to drug taking and I watched grads who never touched a drop in the past join in just to fit in. I witnessed non stop bullying of new people coming into the business and inevitable burn out. They have had a huge turnover of staff under a new leader and it's difficult to see what they're doing to stop it. It's a bit of a joke at desk now. Leaders within the business cannot be trusted and no one feels comfortable to speak honestly about how they're feeling. It feels like the UK business has no actual idea how to improve or change for the times but instead force people to work harder. (Never smarter!) The technology team is a mess and that's just the perm team- the tech temp team are forgotten about and no one cares! The times they are a changin and Robert Half are stuck in 2003! People are leaving in their droves but inevitably the leadership will say they were just average and couldn't hack it. WAKE UP BOYS!
