Pros

The monthly bonus payout can be good (IF you achieve the monthly goal which is very difficult and demanding)

Cons

- AS hires fresh grads in their early 20s with no prior experience. These people go on to become managers within 3 years. The managers micromanage you to the point that they will ask you to come to work early and leave late, Have a problem if you resist and will not give you autonomy. - The expectation is for you to put in extra hours - till 10-11pm everyday - Everyone feels entitled to provide ‘feedback’ for as little as typing loudly on the desk or not responding within 5 minutes. - My mental health really suffered during my time there and no money is worth the micromanagement and criticism. - They have certain policies that are not revealed until you join and they offer little to no flexibility in work from home. Please talk to ex employees and not currents, before joining! - A company with such a high employee turnover is a red flag. They don’t care about the employees and expect people to leave after 6 months

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.
