Thank you very much for your review and we are pleased that you felt that our training was good. We do tend to leave fairly promptly at 6.00 (and 5.00, with drinks from 4.00, on a Friday) which we don't think are particularly long hours given the industry and the financial rewards on offer, but I guess that depends on what the individual considers long hours.

Pros

Not much to best honest. Maybe the location of the offices and the freedom to book time off.

Cons

There were a lot downsides: - Difficult colleagues and management. - Difficulty freely being able to pose questions to seniors when you were unsure about a procedure. - Toxic workplace culture - not sure if this was due to the clashing of recruitment personalities that creates a strange environment. - Strange hierarchy mentality amongst senior individuals in the organisation.

I am very sorry that you did not enjoy your time with us and found both colleagues and management difficult, there isn't however a toxic culture and as a group I think that we all get along very well. Management do sit on desks, with their teams, and this may on occasion lead to a feeling of them being omnipresent, but I genuinely don't think that we are at all hierarchical. Everyone chips in, we work as teams on assignments, are collaborative and there are no special privileges with seniority. It is fair to say that we have had few senior hires from outside the Company and have traditionally preferred to promote from within, with a strong core of people who have all worked together for 15 years . This may at times lead to a very definite Walker Hamill culture. I sense that this may have been your first or second job and I hope that as your career progresses you may reflect and hopefully reassess you experience with us once you have had exposure to additional management styles. I am glad that you liked the offices and the freedom to book time off.
