Pros

Good Market Share, Some good service improvements, Some good relationship with clients, many people work hard to try to achieve result for customers, there are sign of progress and the decline ( Revenue, Profit and Quality) can be turned around

Cons

Lack of Leadership, thinking on a month by month basis, short term approach, revenue and profit in decline and it's paint by numbers solutions, sales team not driving revenue, way too internally focused, talent of the organisation is disengaged and under utilised, role and responsibilities are not well articulated and performance is not well managed, vastly too London centric, I had great hope when I saw the values unveiled, there are some great people in the business, we need to revisit our values and challenge some damaging behaviours to be a success, it can be who you know rather than a true meritocracy

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
