If you're interested in learning new skills, the management encourages and supports you by providing opportunities, even if it's outside your initial job description. They actively promote growth, learning, and exploration. They focus on your strengths to help elevate them, while also helping you identify and work through challenges. Constructive feedback is consistently provided and actionable. The management does a great job of offering support and guidance to help you succeed in your role. The team in both London and Warsaw is amazing and supportive, fostering a positive and collaborative work environment. They are highly effective at promoting clear and open communication, which builds trust within the team. Success is measured by the results you deliver, not the time spent working, which allows for a balanced and productive work dynamic. They offer flexibility with working hours and hybrid work when needed, while maintaining great office spaces in both locations. The company is excellent at fostering company culture—a very social environment with company dinners and drinks, creating a great community of people to work with. On-boarding and training are executed to a very high standard, ensuring you feel well-prepared and supported as you settle into your role.

While they are making an effort, there are occasional instances of promising more than they can deliver, though these are usually minor. There is a clear division of responsibilities between the Warsaw and London offices, which is an effective structure for the company. However, this arrangement can limit opportunities for cross-office skill integration. For those working in the Warsaw office, it’s important to be mindful of the specific responsibilities and limitations tied to the role and the location. There could be greater clarity around commissions and bonuses, particularly in the Warsaw office. The connection between sourcing efforts, placements, and recognition isn’t always as direct as it is in London, where there's a clearer link between candidate placements and compensation. Clearer timelines for promotions would be helpful, along with proactive and consistent communication, especially when responsibilities slow down and become more repetitive. This would help manage expectations and maintain motivation during slower periods.
