Weak leadership, unrealistic expectations, unaccountable management.
Pros
Good perks: massage sessions in the office, fruit day, great tea and coffee, the occasional flexi time during the summer (one Friday off per month), professional support staff. Low base salary, good performance incentives.
Cons
As the review title mentions: - weak leadership (they lack motivational skills and sometimes even people skills, professionalism, technical skills are also severely lacking); - unrealistic expectations (top management submits unrealistic budgets to group and when they don't deliver, heads fall among sales and operational, top performers "heads" who "milked" their clients to the limit); - speculative approach in customer relationships and lack of follow-up; - low quality in delivery (6 out of 10 Perm consultants have no idea what they're doing and mostly wait for applicants); - promises for raises or other benefits that don't happen or, if they do, it's often more than 1 year later; - unaccountable management (actions taken due to their request or following their approval impact operational staff; if things go south, amnesia suddenly sets in for all managers); - high turnover due to huge amounts of pressure.
