Vantaggi

Management on the floor on most teams is good. Encourage you to get out and really get to know your market. Good offices. Very high investment in global branding and back office support functions. International opportunities.

Svantaggi

They have just cut two entire divisions including some very good staff because they weren't profitable and handled it awfully. Rolled everyone out at a monthly divisional meeting and just wiped them out. Very poor senior management. Can't retain good billers. They just move on elsewhere as the salaries are higher and bonuses more lucrative. Bonus scheme is terrible. In my 3 years here only ever seen the senior management when things are getting tough. Promotion is purely based on billings, not on people's ability to actually manage. Hasn't innovated to catch up with the market. The business centres around 3 people, the CEO, the COO and the CFO and they get paid handsomely for the hard work of others. It doesn't trickle down - I'm sure the shareholders are glad you are cannibalising the company of its good staff and replacing them with graduates all in the name of a fat pay cheque.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you have found our managers to be supportive and that we have been successful in communicating how keen we are for staff to take advantage of the international opportunities we offer. The decision to restructure the London business to focus on areas which could offer more opportunities for growth was one which was taken only after lengthy consideration and assessment. Our consultants in those affected teams were working hard in challenging circumstances and we have strived to offer those staff opportunities to relocate to other parts of the business. Our bonus scheme differs from that of many other firms in the industry and is based on a team rather than individual basis. We believe that this system encourages our consultants to collaborate with one another, sharing information on candidates and roles to help us match professionals with the right roles. Whilst benefiting clients and candidates experience we also believe it is extremely rewarding for consultants.
