Pros

A strong recruitment brand which generates strong job flow. Excellent training and foundations for new consultants. Social workplace. Superior, industry leading technology.

Cons

Silos across divisions create ongoing issues over job ownership, short term vision by senior management with lack of visibility or insight in how to grow markets. Internal politics and 'sweating the small stuff' will wear experienced consultants thin.
