Robert Walters Reviews

Pros

Growth Opportunity, Unity in Teams, Effective Management

Cons

Set up is still very new. In the process of transition

Pros

A company focused on people and a simple business model. The leadership team is pragmatic and reasonable, constantly putting on that thinking cap on employee engagement. I also think they have gotten the right priority on human capitalisation where they ensure there's internal growth (promotion, lateral transfer, global mobility) and a library of L&D program for front office and also support functions eg. LinkedIn Learning . They are also very open to have one move into a new role/country and learn from scratch which is something not many organisation allow and think they can afford the time which i can say this company does super well. I also say the culture is great as everyone come together with a focus to get the business and people agenda going, less fluff more action taking which is awesome to me! Its a fast paced and can be challenging work, but people are all not aggressive towards each other, most times understanding and ever so pleasant to work with. Relationship building is key to success here which is how the leaders here strive.

Cons

Not many cons I can think of except that due to nature of business, being present in office is such an important factor as it allows colleagues to come together to bond and learn/grow. While there is a hybrid 3/2 WFH culture here, it may not be a place for those who enjoy more than 70% WFH.

Pros

I've got to meet some amazing people in my time with Robert Walters and I've learned so much by being exposed to a lot of new experiences. My direct line managers along the way have given me the chance to take on new challenges when I've been ready for something different.

Cons

Leadership is still very much a boys club, whilst they talk about promoting diversity of thought and giving people a voice, ultimately, the only voice that will get heard are the ones of the people they "know" and "like". The culture has gone downhill dramatically. People are appointed into senior positions even when grievances have been raised about their inappropriate bevahiour.

Pros

Amazing training from Day 1 - got exposure to some senior managers who all made the Training really good fun and interactive. Met lots of people from across the globe and get huge amounts of support to make me successful. Really nice people and loads of opportunities if you work hard.

Cons

None I can think of right now -

Pros

Great place to work, guaranteed.

Cons

Extremely performance driven, sometimes you have bad months for no reason of your own.

Pros

-training provided -can't get any worse in next recruiting job -a few of the colleagues were nice

Cons

-turnover -office politics and gossip -poor pay -unrealistic expectations -colleagues throwing you under the bus

Pros

great employees and working environment

Cons

long working hours but it is sales

Pros

Supportive culture in general. Great perk (parties, events, food)

Cons

Some incompetent managers. Relatively low pay compared to all other firms

Pros

- Really supportive management team (Manager/Director) - Work on different work most days, every day is different - Can be really fun, incentives and nights out

Cons

Benefits could be better, as it changed about 12 months ago

Pros

There are some fun incentives I guess

Cons

One of the most toxic work environments I've ever experienced, management is horrible, people are petty and cliquey, they work you unreasonable hours and micro manage unlike anything I've ever seen. If you value yourself as a person do not work at this company because you will lose your dignity
