Pros

Great reputation, excellent clients and exciting work. Very good at what they do. People can learn a lot on how to deliver a good search here. Smart people throughout. High base salaries and good benefits. Fast-paced and high expectations. Great platform - alumni have gone on to join Big Tech, investment funds, etc.

Cons

Bad behaviour from (some) senior people tolerated - talking down to juniors, etc. Bordering on bullying at times. Lots of type-A personalities - must follow the company process/way of doing things or there is no room for you. CEO very sharp but micromanages. People either stay for many years or leave within one year - very divisive culturally (basically depends on whether you get put under a good or bad director). Good salaries and benefits, but poor bonuses.

Pros

Pros include a superb onboarding experience, regular team lunches and social events, and competitive compensation through salary and bonuses. As well as an excellent office environment with scenic views of London. Nurturing leaders (leader transparency) and a collaborative team experience. Great benefits - Health insurance, Pension etc.

Cons

The sole drawback is linked to the smaller team size, leading to occasional heavier workloads. However, thanks to a collaborative team spirit, everyone pitches in to manage the workload effectively

Pros

A truly collaborative team of bright minds who will do all they can to help and support each other. No hierarchy, just a focus on achieving the best result together. Strong focus on L&D and good career development. CEO very down to earth and approachable. Great social events! As an EA, I was made to feel a vital part of the search process with consistent gratitude for my help.

Cons

Some systems are a little antiquated but work is actively being done to prioritise making improvements.
