UAE office review

Pros

Good work life balance. Some high profile clients and projects

Cons

This review reflects the UAE office only. The company's different offices are not connected at all operationally, despite sharing the same name. Some interesting facts: Salary has been delayed by 2-3 months at times. "Managing Partners" of the firm focus on multiple side businesses, and expect the firm to run on autopilot. At the same time, they draw a heavy salary and benefits, on top of the profits. To add cherry on top, support staff oftentimes are busy working on the "Managing Partners" side businesses. The worst commission contribution in the market. Extremely high turnover. Extremely stingy when it comes to expense reimbursements. Not one person who has left has anything positive to say. Almost every exit has been dramatic, with benefits for exiting employee being cut/delayed

Pros

Learn about Executive Recruitment

Cons

Very bad cultural setting | Don't care about their employees | Make people work ridiculous hours | Don't let them take breaks | Don't want to employee more people to save themselves from Government Policies it seems | No incentives on recruitment as well. Only they make money | No set of policies too, they also don't comply to their own policies

Pros

Each office has a lot of autonomy, so as a lower level employee, it means less corporate red tape to deal with. For a job in recruiting, this position is relatively low pressure because there is no cold-calling and because it is executive search, there are simply fewer candidates which means more time spent on research and less time just dialing.

Cons

As noted, each office is different, but a major con that I see is that all the people at director level do not work well together. This means that when offices try to share work, there is a lack of communication and this affects my ability to do a good job in search. Giving each office so much autonomy is great in many ways, but I think it hurts the client's outcome sometimes because the directors who work together don't really work together well. As far as pay goes, I am paid far my market value. This may hurt Stanton Chase in the long run - it promotes to high turnover and low satisfaction. I saw another review that said the same thing - some employees spend their time working for a managing partner's side business. This harms office productivity and makes staff look bad to other managing partners.
