Pros

Pre-pandemic it was the best company i've ever worked at,

Cons

post pandemic and after my line manager left the social and friendly side completely disappeared. we worked like we were robots! No personal touch from their remote teams in NA, EMEA were great! I was made redundnat whilst on maternity leave, after my redundancy there were two job openings that I was a good fit for, one job they didn't even interview me, the 2nd job they had an initial call and no communication until I checked the status myself and both just said to keep an eye out for other opportunities! absolutely appalling and the redundancy pay was shocking for after 5 years of working there, there was no empathy and i truly felt like a number

Pros

I had a great experience working with Robert Half. The team made the process of working with the client seamless and was always responsive, professional, and supportive throughout the assignment. The client was also great to work with, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would be happy to work with Robert Half again on another client engagement.

Cons

no cons everything was great!

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
