      Pros

      Good training (for the sector, could be better). Good benefits Regional coverage International opportunities Some innovative products such as the digital section.

      Cons

      Suffers from the same issues as most recruitment companies: can be extremely KPI-focused and short-termist at times. Work-life balance poor (par for the sector however). High turnover, skill-base / commitment to most markets relatively low.
