Pros

Good PSL list, responsive infrastructure due to size, autonomy, experienced senior consultants and some excellent middle management that need to be listened to! Some good tech clients and good potential for this section ;) good luck to my fellow guys here !!

Cons

Autonomy given to staff or is it lazy management? The business struggles to attract good quality hires - big headcount, low productivity.... Good question to those interviewing here. Confused company - insurance or banking or contingent or search? Very little strategy other than that defined by middle management for individual teams resulting in little cross sell and massive gaps in the business. Directors that are known to be lazy by the business but hide the truth very well from the CEO for own self preservation and keeping their position for rumoured sale as a result have lost some good individuals - strangely no one leaves positively or ever returns..... A reputation that seems to sadly be reality. Lots of leavers without explanation and poor business communication has added to the numbers which are on the increase and morale is very low. A business that will struggle to get to the next stage unless middle management are listened to and politics removed.... Limited expenses and very restricted budgets making client entertainment hard to compete In the market, the Directors enjoy spending it in the local restaurants - you can find them there.....

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. Management training is integral to our Learning & Development strategy. Our people are our most important asset and we’re committed to ensuring we provide everyone the opportunity to be successful in their role, which means making sure our management team are as strong as possible. Whilst there are some kinks to work through as in any growing business, we’re confident in the talent in our business and our continued investment in training. We operate a very mature model at Eames, which means employees are given autonomy to run their desks their own way which is what attracts experienced recruitment consultants to work for us. Attrition is natural in any business and whilst we hate to see great talent go, we’re proud to support people if they want to take on different challenges that we can’t give them such as in-house recruitment. We aim to encourage an open and transparent working environment led by a supportive and credible management team. You are right- they should be listened to, and we’re currently looking at new ways to ensure we get the most from our management meetings and ensure this talented group are empowered to share ideas and learn from each other’s experiences. Good luck in your new role.

Pros

Commission Salaries Career development Training

Cons

The New York manager lacks people management skills and seems to prioritize their own interests over the team’s. There is little to no sense of team personality or emotional intelligence which creates a culture of fear.
