Pros

- Depends on managers, you will get the good training and cares. I had from Phuc Pham and one Manager who left and I really appreciate his treatment to me during my time there, no matter what happen later. - Fun team, good system compare to other hunting firms ( bc I moved on), The policy reduce internal conflicts and control people manner in a professional way - If you want to learn technique on recruitment, there has the best people in the industry for you to be close with.

Cons

- Seriously, Just about how they pay the bonus and salary. If you come to Robert Walters VN, aim to "learn" only, because with the same revenue, let's say 900 mil VND, You know how much commission will you make in other firm will be significantly higher than in RW. Also the fairness in internal salary ( this information is not known to everyone but I know very much specifically). If not because of money, I would not leave RW.

Pros

Location - great views of the river.

Cons

I witness bullying from senior management, toxic behaviours were allowed and lauded. They pick and choose when to give you your bonus - it's discretionary on whether your manager likes you or not. The decision is completely up to them whether they give it to you, and if you're not performing one month - they'll make sure they try and give you every excuse not to pay it to you even though you performed the month before. Upper management gloat about how much money they have, to recruitment consultants on $70k a year. Absolutely toxic and out of touch.

Thank you for leaving a review. I’m obviously disappointed to read your comments. Our team-based profit share bonus model, which is unique in the industry, ensures that we deliver the best service to our clients and candidates, and allows us to reward our people for their whole contribution to the team. And we do not tolerate toxic or bullying behaviour..
