Pros

- Energetic, young and smart team - Fun - encourages 'quirkiness' - Merit based, transparent salary scheme - Fast paced - Everyday you get to handle different kinds of projects - Social initiatives if you're into it - office outings / Friday beers etc - Lots of opportunities if you show that this is where you wanna be long-term

Cons

- Too much emphasis on growth which leads to over-hiring of employees - Too 'fratty' - Little hard skills learned - Work life balance is not ideal - Technically there is only one way 'up' - not enough variety in terms of options as one progresses within the firm - Too young, immature overall environment

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
