Pros

Really nice peers. Get to party a lot and have fun

Cons

- No real skill set acquired. You do useless and most pointless research on 'people' within various industries and you try to reach out them. You are one of those useless people who just finds people with a particular set of skills. In short, the business model consists of work which is not challenging at all, instead, it is futile at best. Apart from partners, most of the employees come from third and fourth tier schools in the UK or the US. In short, capability and competency of employees is questionable.

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
