Pros

They have excellent connections within the Compliance and Regulatory space - Want to see everyone making money badly. 1on1 is offered to anyone who asks with Sr. Management - the CEO is willing to get into the weeds with you - his door is always open and he will not bite, but will be honest with you. No Vacation policy - you can take time off as needed, it's your money....

Cons

Company relies on FTE placements however there is zero understanding of contract recruiting best practices and little to no knowledge in IT staffing. No training plan for new hires - you're thrown into a desk to figure it out yourself (at least in consulting dept.). Not a good place for a first job in this particular vertical - newbies are hired and fail. In addition, there is a belief that communication over email is an acceptable way to gauge the truthfulness of potential candidates and to get business. No phone calls are required, which causes a myriad of issues - minimal screening done by mgmt for candidates - yes/no questions are asked, no answers are tested with a follow up. In addition staying until 6PM is required and no WFH. Benefits are extraordinarily expensive through the company. I was low-balled tremendously on salary compared to newer postings. The consulting group practices all that gives recruiters a bad name - no care for the candidates at all.

Pros

Long term professional growth, stability, fast paced, collaborative and engaging. I have had the ability to grow within my position rather than feeling the need to move elsewhere to advance my career.

Cons

I do not have any to mention

Pros

You can negotiate a competitive base salary for the position. Like any company of this size, you will run into people who are very nice and helpful, and others who or more in it for themselves.

Cons

Their model is similar to that have a Michael Page, it's a burn and churn atmosphere with people leaving or getting terminated under the year mark. Why is that? The employer will say, they weren't good at their job. I will say, then why did you hire that person and why do you continue to hire people who don't stay past the elusive year marker? So are you saying your own recruiting department (this is a recruiting agency after all so you'd think they'd have this down) isn't good at vetting candidates? Speaking of, lots of miscommunication regarding the 1 day WTH policy. Is it after two weeks of training, 2 months, 2 years? Training is also horrendous. Some managers were thrust in the management role without either wanting it, or getting the training on being a manager and it shows in the training.
