Pros

Ambitious, entrepreneurial and fast growing. There are strong rewards and decent progression for competitive individuals. An excellent introduction to consulting, information services and primary research for graduates and those at an early stage in their career.

Cons

The atmosphere is highly competitive, which results in a very individualistic way of working, with very little collaboration. All client facing roles are highly sales focused, which means that other skills are less appreciated. Ultimately, renumeration, recognition and progression are based on your individual sales numbers.

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
