- Old-school recruitment micromanagers (mostly from SThree). - Workr software requires your webcam to be on all the time so management can watch you in your own home to ensure you're working. - They use a mobile app which records the number and duration of phone calls. - I joined in a cohort of 6-7 people which they called the 'Academy' however everyone left within 6 months. - Management asked us to work longer hours to compensate for not having to commute. They would simultaneously claim not to care what hours we work as long as we get the job done, but then go on (and on and on and on) about work hours. - Non-existent client base or candidate network. - Only one person in the office was billing anything whilst I was there, perhaps the cause of (or caused by?) the micro-management and unnecessary pressure. - Low salaries.

The company professes to be all about work life integration and balance, however after looking to return to work after my maternity leave, I was made feel very isolated and ask when doing my keeping in touch days what value would I add in these days and what money I could bring in otherwise they were pointless. It was never about me integrating into the company again after been a top biller at one point . It was only about what they could gain from me. All previous flexibility arrangements I had were denied at my return to work and I was pushed out . The last month of my maternity was ruined by worrying about what I could do for work as I could not work around their new requirements and lost complete faith in a company I used to hold in a high regard . Thankfully I gained a new role before needing to go back .
