Pros

I left MA at the start of the crisis but for my own reasons unrelated to MA. I can only speak from my experience and team. From speaking with others their experience was different to mine. Overall I would love to go back and work there again. -Great direct leadership. Team lead was inspiring and constantly motivating. -Great teamwork. If you needed help on any roles, or with any clients your teammates would be by your side straight away -direct 50/50 split between delivery and account manager. As fair as could be. -Great office location (BCN), sleek and high-tech office -Great training at the start, good refreshers but could sometimes interfere with actual work -Family atmosphere. Made friends for life -People were genuinely happy with your success and celebrated with you -Spanish Language Lessons -Help with relocation -Not a "wideboy" environment. Egos left at the door. -Can control your own market. Encouraged to try new things -Can learn from seriously talented coworkers and teammates -Team lead once again. Such a good person genuinely invested in your success.

Cons

-Salary was quite low, but making deals could bring you a great return -Focus switched heavily to KPIs as time went on -Some cliques -Commission was cut and salaries were sacrificed at start of pandemic -large disconnect between LDN and BCN offices. Different culture and atmosphere. -Was never fully secure in employment

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
