Randstad is so heavily metrics based, it has completely forgotten the people element of the people business
Employees at VP level are promoted rapidly while managers or below wait years without promotion
Ridiculously high percentage of internal turnover at every career level, due to unattainable metrics
Turnover causing overwork, loss of bonus, and eventual quitting of most experienced employees
Bonus structure heavily based on factors outside an employee's direct control
Toxic and immature management who rule by finger-pointing, fear, and blame
Micro-managed workplace breeds frustration, discontent and paranoia
Zero communication or strategy from senior "management"
Only company-sanctioned items may be placed on desk
Extremely bureaucratic and inflexible organization
