Pros

I joined on a graduate level and the experience I've had thus far has been incredible. They take every step to ensure you feel welcome and comfortable and train you up incredibly well. Once you're in you're in, it's not a cut throat environment you so often hear about in recruitment. It's family like environment but still professional. The rewards you can achieve is phenomenal with very generous commission. The boss appreciates hard work and dedication and sees it instantly and rewards you accordingly, and is always prepared to give advice on improvements in a constructive manner. By far the best benefit of working here is the team. It's a great group of people to with on daily basis, both in a professional and personal manner. As for office benefits the list is extensive. From plenty of food available, beer fridge, plenty of work outings (Flight Club, Nights Out, Polo in the park), Gym and Phone Subsidy, and trips abroad. Last year we went to Ibiza for 5 nights! All in all a great place to work, and an experience very few people will get the chance to have. I'm incredibly lucky to have ended up here.

Cons

The hours can be long initially as you need to build up your network, but you get so well taken care of you don't even notice!

Pros

I joined DP from an environment with very little support or training. Over the last 18 months the whole team has played a huge role in my growth both personally and professionally. The culture is fair, collaborative and transparent. If any conflict does come up, it is very rare and always handled quickly and professionally. Management genuinely wants everyone to succeed and makes sure no one gets left behind. There is a lot of autonomy to work on what you are interested in, but also plenty of support if you want guidance. We collaborate closely across all three offices, which means you get to see the roles and opportunities globally. Client relationships are fantastic and often lead to exclusive roles. Even as a junior, I had the chance to attend client meetings and manage relationships directly which was such valuable experience. The team is amazing. Everyone celebrates wins big or small and there is a real sense of wanting the best for each other. Recruitment can sometimes bring out the worst in people but DP brings out the best :) The incentives are excellent and keep everyone motivated. Hours are great for the industry and being able to work out at lunch is a big plus.

Cons

Lots of cookie orders and Deliveroo
