Pros

- The people they are are intelligent and if you can find the right mentor/sponsor then you are in the best possible position to succeed. - if you can make it to Principal or Partner you have the opportunity to make good $$, but they have paused raises for the past 2 years.

Cons

- Hours are awful. People are not considerate of your personal life outside of work - You don't have 1 single manager, so everyone expects the world from you - if you don't find a mentor/sponsor within the org you are completely lost - the company values revenue over people - Partners set unrealistic deadlines for SA's to meet leading to burnout and excessive hours. - There is little to no trust given to SA's from Partners. If a SA brings a great candidate to the table, the Partner will take control of the relationship. This interferes with SA's growth and exposure. - SA's are to be silent on client calls. - There is no accountability for Partners. They are able to push work down to SA's .... everything falls on a SA.

Pros

True has been a great place to be, and I've enjoyed working here. I have no doubt they'll surpass the SHREK firms in the not-so-distant future. The people here are A+. If the broader platform play comes together cohesively, the company will see huge successes from that

Cons

There is certainly a lot that, despite being 14 years old, they're still figuring out. Upper management is truly phenomenal both professionally and personally, but they are disconnected from the search work happening on the ground and the broader market dynamics. True takes on too much work, and capacity is always a problem. Commissions and splits are lower than the market average, and I feel nickel-and-dimed every time a new contract comes in.
