Pros

Robert Walters looks after everyone who works hard and upholds the values that are important to the business. They do not micro manage staff, they put a lot of trust in their employees to produce results, including working remotely when necessary or when life just gets in the way. They encourage career growth and support international moves within the group for those who perform and those who are invested in the company. Robert Walters has an incredible marketing team that supports the group and gets our brand out to market. There are great incentives for the top performers and a number of other incentives that run through out the year, always thinking of ways to give a something back! Robert Walters is constantly looking for new innovative ways to help both our clients and candidates. I love the people I work with, from all different backgrounds and cultures. This is a company that truly will value you as an employee if you add value :)

Cons

I can't think of any Cons other that working remotely for a lot of my year, which means I don't get to take part in a lot of the fun the teams have! I love being in the offices, both London and Johannesburg where all the action is happening.

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers

Pros

-Great if you are building your skillset in the recruitment space -Very large clients to work with if you want that experience

Cons

-Did not have bonus for 1 year and almost did not for the year after only reason as to why we did it was due to layoffs -Lots of management changes throughout my time there, and it is all moving to helicopter managers who do not know how to give constructive feedback - Had the largest workload ever, very similar to agency space but not agency pay - Commission is paid quarterly instead of monthly if you are in a recruiting space -Recruiters will make more overall than the Recruitment Partners
