Pros

You either work the last hour of Friday or drink alcohol. Doesn’t matter if you don’t drink.

Cons

They throw each under the bus, they bicker about each within their teams. Work ethic was just horrendous. Felt like going into prison.

Many thanks for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. Even though it sounds like you didn’t have the best experience with us, it is good for us to hear views from every point of view so we can work on things and improve. In terms of how we work together as a team, we look at this closely through our regular employee engagement process. Our scores in this area this year are good and rising, and we also recognise we have more work we can do here. For example, we have recently combined our sales and project management teams to provide a united client care service from start to finish, and to build strong collaboration and mutual support between our colleagues. On the end-of-Friday happy hours, most feedback we've had is that people really enjoy them as a way to unwind at the end of the week and get together informally with colleagues. We offer both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to accommodate varied tastes. People can always suggest new approaches in our confidential monthly employee surveys. For example, we recently added vegan milk-substitutes for tea and coffee due to an employee's suggestion.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
