Pros

Excellent team and individuals who work for them. If you are from the right background and have the right internal relationships your career opportunities are very good.

Cons

- Discretionary bonus - Very very very KPI driven. - Boy club in place. Have the right relationships and you will be looked after. If you don't you will go nowhere. - Very poor management across divisions - Management bitter about past employees who have left and become successful - lack of professionalism - Very bad at winning tenders - If put on a cold desk or new desk you receive no support - Poor and outdated training usually delivered by the bad management team using documents dated 2009... - Training geared to making Robert Walters more money not improving your skills as a recruiter - Must fit into the "Robert Walters" mold for - outdated bonus structure and management

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers
