Pros

Nothing, Free tea maybe

Cons

The culture at FB is absolutely toxic. Yu are being watched every single minute, from the time you arrive to the time you leave. for example, you are expected to arrive to work on time 8:30am (Of course longer than average companies), however, if you arrive at 8:31am expect a little chat with your line manager... on the other hand if you stay for longer hours there is no acknowledgement. The company discriminates mothers and does not considers or promotes flexible working. The pay is under market rate however the company promote incentives “hitting the target” which requires you to work 14 hours a day. They have a dedicated so called “HR/ops staff members “to ensure glass door reviews are “on point” and regular emails goes out to force employees to complete good reviews

Pros

I have been at FB for over 2 years now and came in without any recruitment experience previously. I have received nothing but incredible support when it comes to my development and progression within the business. The people are amazing as well and the atmosphere in the office every day makes me not want to work from home even with the option to do so. I have had help at every step of the way from associate consultant, to recruitment consultant to senior consultant and now have some of the best training ive had moving in to management. Cant recommend the company enough and earn some of the best commission in the industry.

Cons

Dont have a con. Ive had the best experience in a business in my career.
