Pros

Basic salary is definitely good. You can get by even not earning any bonuses. Amazing Line Management, really inspirational people with big will to fight. Great people.

Cons

The company is rather poorly managed. Everything is about money. Sometimes it's even pointless to try, so at the end you loose all of the motivation. It's quite hard to get a bonus. You have to make a lot of placements to hit the threshold and get money, otherwise you get nothing, when in most of agencies you get money for every placement. No one knows anything, people are unwiling to make decisions, everything is just constantly escalated, as nobody wants to take responsibility. I felt really unmotivated. It's super hard to get salary raise.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
