Pros

A positive work environment that promotes team work and support across teams. I was particularly impressed by the support and flexibility that the team offered even during the entire hiring process. It's always exciting to work under great leadership.

Cons

None that I've seen so far

Pros

During the Spherion and Randstad merger, a lot of innovations were carried over from Spherion to Randstad Back Office technology tools are some of the best in the business, with constant updates and new tools added Randstad US has borrowed the good reputation of Randstad Holdings from Europe (if it can keep it) So many internal company divisions and departments, one feels like they are always learning Large and varied client base makes working for Randstad fun at times re: client engagement Impressive promotional swag and professional publications available for clients Good opportunity for young professionals to try to work for a large corporation Randstad owns a Clipper Ship and race car! IT Department is skillful and expedient 55 year anniversary!

Cons

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
