      Pros

      A truly innovative and inspirational company. A global organisation with a local feel. Excellent leadership. Couldn't ask for a better workplace with great opportunities to progress.

      Cons

      So busy with lots on - can be hectic, but that being said the support is great.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what you're doing- this is a great place with people at the heart of culture.

      I worked at Morgan McKinley full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      The people here are the reason I stayed for the few months that I did. Its the culture that keeps people interested. Everyone was so helpful and its a great brand to have on your cv

      Cons

      The wrong people are being put in leadership roles. There is a real culture of micromanagement. Managers feel pressurized and are afraid of performance issues or high turnover so they control their team. Any issues raised are brushed under the carpet and this is why people leave.

      Advice to Management

      Seriously consider who you promote to management level. Ensure that they are leaders and know how to motivate their staff not push them away

      I have been working at Morgan McKinley full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      There are a lot of little benefits like free food or drinks on a Friday. Also, if you're a top performer you get nights away in 5 star hotels and financially can be very well rewarded.
      The location is excellent and generally most of the people that work here are really nice and helpful. It's a fantastic place to start a career in recruitment and/or HR.

      Cons

      There is a disconnect between senior leadership and consultants. They have no idea about the real reasons people leave and will always look to blame external conditions rather than themselves. People leave because of people.
      There's a big push for the digitization of the business, which I can understand in terms of being at the forefront of technology. But if the same investment and time was put into developing the people in the business, they would be far more successful and have a higher employee retention rate.

      Advice to Management

      Senior leaders should be out on the floor more and become more visible and approachable.
      Stop driving KPI's and actually engage with staff to have them drive numbers that really matter to revenue growth. Too much time spent by consultants on doing things purely to hit KPI's and keep managers off their back's.
