Randstad Response

10y

Thanks for your review, and sorry to hear that you felt the management culture wasn't what you were expecting. The majority of our employees give us exceptionally positive feedback on the Randstad culture, and in our recent engagement survey we outperformed the average UK professional services benchmark for employee engagement. I hope you were able to raise your concerns during your exit interview, but if you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me personally.

Pros

Met interesting clients and developed a nice network. Locations are quite good because they are always located near a train station. Salary in the range of the market.

Cons

Awful (French) management, poor vision, bad strategic decision, 50% casting error. High pressure, sharks and unethical persons everywhere. Promises not kept. Challenges won but never saw the prizes. Cheaters everywhere. Some people at the management clearly takes us as idiots. Very high turnover (more than 60% since I arrived). Some peoples have more tools and more chances to succeed than others (and thoses preferences are not based on success, skills or merit). Unrealistic targets, etc...
