Randstad reviews

Hard to know where to start. I luckily got through my two years unscathed and ended up leaving for a much better job. However the way my coworkers were treated by management was appalling . From terrible mind games, crazy pressure, constantly being told you're going to lose your job to straight up racist name calling. Really shocking stuff. Middle management and upper management only care about money. Don't believe all the fake LinkedIn posts about building you up as a person and human forward. They're cold cruel people. Not sure how some of them can go home to their families and look them in the eye and act like they're good people.

Ever since new management came in, the turnover has been abysmal. Management has no background in engineering and has no perception of how to manage 3 offices in the West while sitting in the Toronto Office looking at spreadsheets all day. Management has no idea what's best for the business and how to retain talent. The new commission plan is extremely complicated and was a flat out lie that it was going to be better than the old. You simply don't get PAID at all for the first 16k billed per quarter whereas the old plan was straight forward and you were able to calculate your own commissions easier. People have quit over this plan and it doesn't seem to attract new employees because all of the competitors pay better. It's disappointing that this had to happen because Randstad Engineering used to do incredibly well pre 2016 but now the outlook of the division seems to diminish even when the economy is booming.
