Pros

I made some great friends but that was about it. Robert Half has a lot of money to spend on location of the office so you have a good pick of restaurants for lunch.

Cons

- Working at Robert Half was like being in an abusive relationship. - They count on humiliation, bullying and threatening you to make sure they keep a hold on you. - KPI's and pressure were so intense that my health declined. I stopped recovering from colds and ended up in the hospital once. - The KPI's are highest in the industry. They keep you from doing your job properly. - If you are a new consultant and make a mistake your manager will scream at you. - Someone was always crying in the office because of the pressure. - If you read the reviews below, the one talking about everyone having sex with everyone -- well, it's all true. - Your colleagues will backstab you and steal your clients and candidates. - People who have been there a long time have been brainwashed into thinking working at Robert Half is the centre of the universe. They all have tunnel vision. - You will work 12 hours a day and will start on an embarrassingly low salary. - Take my advice -- don't work at RH.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
