Pros

Good benefits, dental and medical You can don’t do work and still earn money if you are liked by management

Cons

You can tell alot of ppl don’t like each other but just come in to work and tolerate. So much tension! Always feel like no job security! Ppl only look after their friends. Managers will protect their friends even if they slack off all the time. Totally unflexible work environment. Must reach on time at 8:30 and cannot go before 6pm unless you are from the friends group. Management does not like ppl working from home becos they don’t believe ppl are really working. Ppl in Singapore and UK like to escalate the smallest matter. Ppl in Singapore office always criticising work from UK office.

Robert Walters Response

Hi - I'm really concerned by the comments and allegations in your review. As the Global HR Director, I can tell you categorically that our business does not condone favoritism or bullying of any kind. I simply have seen no evidence of that since I joined Resource Solutions, and I've not met a team yet that simply tolerated each other - I genuinely believe the working culture we have is one of the best I've ever seen, so this is a real surprise and a concern. I take your allegations seriously and I will look into them. I've replied to previous reviews mentioning our working hours by promising that flexible working is my top priority, and I'll repeat that now - I want to ensure everyone is provided the flexibility to perform their best work, in an environment they feel comfortable in and enjoy coming to work in. If that's not the case now, I'd like to know why, and understand what we can do to make it better. Thanks, Kirsty Adams (Global HR Director, Resource Solutions)

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
