Pros

I really enjoyed working for Robert Walters for the most part. I was given excellent opportunities to learn and grow within the HR department. The skills I have developed have been invaluable and I am grateful for that.

Cons

During my employment it was always disheartening to see other team members with higher salaries that essentially did the same job as I did. Working for a support function team at Robert Walters is extremely tough, you are never rewarded or recognised for the hard work you do compared to the recruitment side of the business. To reiterate I had a great time working for this company for over 6 years. I have always had positive relationships with my line managers during this period. I have to say it was really demoralising after all my years at RW that I did not have any contact with my manager towards the end of my employment. For instance, I was scheduled to have an exit interview with my line manager over MS teams but she did not turn up to the meeting or make me aware that she would not be attending. There was no common curtesy of a goodbye etc (still to this present day). I was also not sent the off-boarding survey to provide my feedback. Unfortunately, this did contribute to a really poor off-boarding experience. I really did not expect to end my employment with RW in this way....

Thank you for your review, I’m so pleased to read that you valued the opportunities to grow and develop, we’re proud of the development opportunities and pathways we offer our people. I’m disappointed to read your cons, our business is built on meritocracy and collaboration which really is valued and recognised – I’m always so proud to see our business partners celebrated in initiatives like our annual Top Achievers programme, global townhalls, CEO videocasts and global collaboration days. And I am very sorry to read your comments about your off-boarding process, it sounds like we fell short of the high standards we set for ourselves and our commitment to our employees, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are always open to feedback – if you’d like, you can reach out to me at coral.bamgboye@robertwalters.com to arrange a confidential discussion. Coral Bamgboye Global Head of Employee Experience

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
