Pros

If you're fresh into the workforce and keen on recruitment sales, Randstad provides you with a generalised recruitment training ground, moulded on the company's "best practices" or assumptions to get things moving along. IF you are hungry, bare your fangs and you'll likely to succeed here.

Cons

Wherever you come from, be prepared to lose your individuality or your uniqueness along the way. The WOW factor that got you hired? It wont be relevant anymore a couple of months into the role as you'll be recommended to follow some best practices of client engagement. Do your own market research if you're joining the firm, some industries are harder to recruit than others and miracles ARE expected of you sometimes. Leaders are far and few in between in this company, with many managers recycling ideas on raising employees engagement and motivation, inadequate training programs without local knowledge, inconsistent feedback and expectations that changes frequently.

Pros

You will have work all the time. I left the company within 1 year. Their attrition rate is very high. 4-5 People leave every other month saying various reasons , but basically people leave when they realise the des parity

Cons

You get less than half of what an expat gets who does the exact same job and exact same work as you do.
