Pros

They offer slightly better supports in terms of searching tools, administrative works and training. Not bad for fresh grads or someone with no experience working in other agency.

Cons

They are obviously going through a rebuilding phase now as they sacked a lot of ppl during covid. Bonus is devastating for especially experienced guys who bill well, they won’t even be bothered to justify it with an attitude of “it is what it is”. Lack of incentives, only one lunch club per quarter for those who billed over 1-mil hkd. The rest are bunch of coupons or tiny cash out. So ppl are not really cross-selling or sharing stuff at all due to the zero incentive system here. Culture very corporate, maybe better on the commerce team side but definitely quite uptight and boring on the financial team side. Not gonna badmouth anyone, but managers are mostly not giving too much damn of a lot of things as they are not supposed to be caring much apart from hiring new people for the firm.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. It’s great to hear about the positive learning and development opportunities you feel are available to our consultants. While I understand that our discretionary bonus is unique in the recruitment sector, it sets us apart from our competitors, and ensures that not only do candidates and clients come first, but that we’re able to reward our people based on everything they contribute as part of the team, not just what they bill. I am concerned to read about your experience with management and would appreciate discussing this in more detail. If you like, you can email me at tricia.tan@robertwalters.com.sg that we can arrange to have a confidential conversation. Tricia Tan HR Director, South East Asia & Greater China

Pros

The company does value work life balance however with the recent merger the team structure changed and the management team really needs to add structure to make it more cohesive however they only care about meeting numbers

Cons

Management does not care in performance of employees unless they are not meeting numbers
