Best company to work for, but poor LTS management

Relationship manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company culture and global leadership team Benefits and perks Office has free food and gym Microsoft owns LinkedIn and is performing well

Cons

Constant encouragement to humble brag to colleagues and on the platform Poor LTS management in London because most haven't worked many other places and never challenge higher up Cliques form fast and managers across LTS London teams have favourites Quite toxic work environment lacking openness and honesty The consultant x-functionals who succeed are basically job board sales people, not experts in the talent space You will succeed here if you were good as a recruitment agent, but it's not a place to develop a career in anything but sales

Pros

World class benefits, actual work-life balance emphasis, work on innovative projects with other intellectual people, and last not least, work at a company that has a strong core mission to help make the world a better place.

Cons

Only con would be that we have to use Microsoft products.
