Pros

You're in the office 9-5, or perhaps 9:30 to 4:30. There are also a handful of really awesome people.

Cons

Expectation wise: Management expectations to churn out messages to candidates is entirely unrealistic - there is no effort made to genuinely find the right person for the job based on where they worked before/prior industry/person's interests, their current company's team size, etc. There is no incentive to follow-up with candidates or actually build rapport with them - The Sourcery is essentially a call center to see if whoever is on the job market and responding to generic, thoughtless LinkedIn InMails is decent enough to put forward. Plot twist: the recruiter you're talking to is not actually working "directly with the hiring manager." Benefits wise: Pay was, until very recently, abysmal for a SF company. Now it's just entirely unbalanced based on when you happen to have joined and your luck of getting hired candidates (see above). Still, it'd be great if people actually cared enough to show up without needing a "mental break" and WFH day in any given week. Culture wise: The culture here is incredibly toxic. Upper management, which is increasingly becoming too top-heavy, micromanages like no other - unfortunately about things that don't matter, like whether recruiters like to work in a private office instead of worrying about what they produce. Other recruiters consistently fudge their metrics and have absolutely no reprimand. Cliques form between those who don't produce (refer to earlier statement) and those that do and, indirectly, are responsible for picking up the slack. Pro-tip to management: you might want to have a better idea of the work environment before suggesting we all write Glassdoor reviews.
