Pros

It is a highly regarded company with a strong brand and reputation and outstanding client base. Established consultants have a mature relationship with clients, many that go back a long way, which provides real consistency in billing. New consultants never start cold and can quickly establish themselves and start a strong pipeline. Strong roots in most of the markets that they deal in so making sourcing candidates so much easier. Excellent training and professional development is given at all levels and a clearly defined career development path lets everyone know where they stand, and what they can aim at to progress. Compared with most recruitment firms I have seen it is a very mature and collaborative working environment, which in part is supported by a profit hsare scheme once billings are sestablished. Real opportunity to earn good income quickly.

Cons

There have been changes in the past 18 months in order to move the company forward, which has upset a few people and caused a few wobbles, but most seem highly motivated and buy into the direction it is developing in. I have to say that I don't recognise most of the negatives on earlier posts.
