Pros

The office is nice; there's cold brew coffee on tap and decent food from time to time for free. Free yogurt and cereal daily. Super flexible Work from Home situation in the Recruiting group (you only have to be in the office 2 days per week, and even those 2 days are relatively flexible).

Cons

Don't take a Recruiter job here. Can't speak on other jobs, but don't take a Recruiter job. There's no ATS system. There aren't any systems at all. The whole job is done in Excel spreadsheets and MS Outlook. There is a weekly report you have to fill out with hundreds of rows of Excel updates, something that would be automatically handled by the simplest ATS system. This is a big part of your job, whereas if there was any Software product being utilized, it would literally not be a part of your job. Also - 75% of reqs you work on will get cancelled, but the business partners approach you with aggressive, 911 level urgency for every single req. You put in a ton of work because you're under the gun, and then a week later they just come back and say "oh we don't need those anymore." The Recruiting group at this company is unlike anything I've ever seen in a professional environment. It was jarring. I've never written a Glassdoor review before - but I felt super obligated to for this company because I wouldn't want to see another person unsuspectingly join the Recruiting team.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
