Pros

Excellent clients in banking, technology and pharmaceutical sectors. Good place to build up the skills and experience to work as an internal strategic partner. Supportive line managers (middle managers)

Cons

Top management interested in only short-term returns and the strategy is always to maximize profits. This results in no strategic gains. As it is a consultancy business, client is always right even when wrong and there is NEVER the scope to highlight that. Internal HR is offshore and provides just a lip service to the management messages. Do not expect a structured growth path. It's more about being at the right place and knowing the right people (if the client is happy, so is the management). Everything is based only on cost cutting. Finally very admin heavy for onsite staff as cost cutting reflects in additional work given to the onsite recruiters.

Pros

Five weeks annual leave.

Cons

No investment in training / development of staff, lack of business development and an overworked staff-force. Untrustworthy HR function, who seek prior agreed outcomes and brush complaints under the carpet. The management (I had 11 managers in my time), install a culture of fear and bullying, personally speaking this included threats of redundancy (based on 'perception') and abusive late night calls. Work life balance...more like work work balance. Fed-up, burnt-out and bullied!!! Stay away.

I am obviously really concerned to read your comments and would like to understand more. I am particularly concerned to read your comments about bullying as this is something that we take very seriously . I hope that you will contact me in confidence at sheena.cartwright@alexmann.com and I can then investigate your experience. Thank you.
