Super close knit group - friends who look out for each other vibe for the most part between the recruiters and account managers, so there was that support. Love the people
Svantaggi
However, management puts so much pressure on leadership, implementing changes without truly hearing the voices of the production teams or knowing where the issues were coming from. There unfortunately is a lot of favortism and lack of diversity that plays a big role..not even sure there was much honesty going on at the end there. The executive recruiting team no longer functioned as a true executive search group as it once did. They are now just an extension of the contract recruiting team who mainly recruits on direct hire at any level now. It's hard to have a true voice there or grow in your career, and the expectations were high for having no support. The executive recruiting team hasn't had a manager leading that team in years who truly understood direct hire at the high level and focused only on that team. You can do well there, but they make it very hard for you unfortunately. It has become a group of mainly inexperienced, straight out of college workers. The 1 on 1's were also unhelpful (I'm usually a big fan of weekly 1 on 1's) - felt like they didn't know how to people manage and advocate for their teams.
