Pros

Location - great views of the river.

Cons

I witness bullying from senior management, toxic behaviours were allowed and lauded. They pick and choose when to give you your bonus - it's discretionary on whether your manager likes you or not. The decision is completely up to them whether they give it to you, and if you're not performing one month - they'll make sure they try and give you every excuse not to pay it to you even though you performed the month before. Upper management gloat about how much money they have, to recruitment consultants on $70k a year. Absolutely toxic and out of touch.

Thank you for leaving a review. I’m obviously disappointed to read your comments. Our team-based profit share bonus model, which is unique in the industry, ensures that we deliver the best service to our clients and candidates, and allows us to reward our people for their whole contribution to the team. And we do not tolerate toxic or bullying behaviour.. I’d appreciate the opportunity to find out more about your experiences, if you’d like, you can reach out to me at dan.rogers@robertwalters.com.au to arrange a confidential discussion. Dan Rogers Managing Director, Australia

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
