Pros

Basic salary is definitely good. You can get by even not earning any bonuses. Amazing Line Management, really inspirational people with big will to fight. Great people.

Cons

The company is rather poorly managed. Everything is about money. Sometimes it's even pointless to try, so at the end you loose all of the motivation. It's quite hard to get a bonus. You have to make a lot of placements to hit the threshold and get money, otherwise you get nothing, when in most of agencies you get money for every placement. No one knows anything, people are unwiling to make decisions, everything is just constantly escalated, as nobody wants to take responsibility. I felt really unmotivated. It's super hard to get salary raise.

Pros

Great team up to director level. Good place to start career, however not many open positions in US

Cons

Contracts are often unclear not including all needed services, leading to financial overburn. The company relies on multiple tracking systems, creating inefficiencies and frustrations for employees, and prioritizes hiring in low-cost regions, which are known for high employee turnover.
