Montreal Associates Response
5y
Hi there thanks for your feedback. It's been a hard six months for us at MA, similar to many organisations struggling to deal with the impact of Covid-19. Communication is something that we've had to deal with, particularly in the aftermath of the initial outbreak. I can see how the lack of clear communication has led to some of the conditions you describe. Since the start of the summer, we've added weekly company wide meetings as well as 'huddles' where every employee meets with myself and the CEO in groups of up to six people to get answers to their questions and information straight from the horses mouth. We've still got improvements to be made, but I'm confident we're on the right track. If you didn't get the chance to complete an exit interview and would like to give more feedback, I'd welcome the call. Thanks, Matt

Pros

Only the flexibility, Remote working if you are based in the uk

Cons

This is a toxic, male-dominated company led by a narcissistic CEO. Feedback from employees is not taken into account, and performance doesn’t seem to matter unless you align yourself with management. Women in particular appear to be undervalued and not given equal opportunities for advancement. I would not recommend this company, as the experience can be extremely demoralizing and may even make you want to leave the recruitment industry altogether
