Pros

Work-life balance, Good infrastructure, office timings

Cons

Employees hired from non-corporate competitor companies and are now promoting the "lala"culture on the floor. They shout on their subordinates and even abuses them on the floor itself, in front of many people from different teams. They even fired few employees just because they took un-informed leaves on the event of someones death in their family. Randstad is hiring - sacked people from competitors just to fill-up thier positions. We are loosing precious talent. There is so much negativity on the floor that almost everyone is looking out for a job change and the competitors are using this situation to get the most talented out of Randstad. Small companies are signed up as our clients and forced consultants work on positions for which no one is ready to apply for and even if somehow the position gets closed, the clients do not pay and the management cuts our incentives. It was way better earlier. The attrition rate has gone significantly high and we have lost many talented employees working from last 4-5 years.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
