Pros

Work from home, virtual meetings make you feel connected, well-structured

Cons

Unethical management that lies to you, gets angry at you if you miss your numbers even if you go on vacation you have to 'make up for the time you missed'. If you raise a concern about anything, they hold it against you. Lack of resources - they don't want to pay anything for search tools so you're stuck doing nothing a lot of the time because you're out of free or paid reach outs. HR lied about the nature of the job at the beginning and said 2-3 days working from home and when brought up management said no... this happened to a handful of other people as well. They standardize objectives across the board so if you have are in a difficulty industry or have a tough client be prepared to be put on a growth plan and packaged out. Hitting your targets on a growth plan also doesn't guarantee they still won't fire you.. They try to avoid giving raises by making it impossible to move through the 'pillar program' they implemented and by distracting you by showering you with praise. Unfortunately, all this praise usually makes the employees head so big they start to wonder why they haven't received a raise in 3 years and they leave. They also tell you you can move teams freely and advertise postings but your manager can and does block that and it's common practice. Probably a good place for an employee starting out in recruiting but other than that I'd recommend you stay away.. the lying, dishonesty and lack of integrity is the worst part.

Pros

Most employees are committed, hardworking and genuinely care about delivering for clients. A business with significant potential - that it currently is not achieving even a quarter of.

Cons

The organization is experiencing the downstream effects of significant transformation, workforce reductions, and the departure of key talent. Leadership capacity is stretched, priorities are not consistently aligned, and communication is reactive rather than coordinated. In several areas, inexperienced leaders have inherited complex portfolios, creating an environment where micromanagement and escalation are replacing trust, delegation, and strategic leadership. The result is an operating environment that feels fragmented, under-resourced, led by knee-jerk decisions and leadership chaos. Too many leaders are focused on protecting or optimizing their own areas rather than aligning around broader business outcomes, making it difficult to maintain consistency, clarity, and momentum across the organization.
