Pros
The only pro was the ability to work remotely.
Cons
Leadership will ask and expect new hires to be entirely on their own in terms of business development/finding leads. Meanwhile, leads via the founder or marketing team are doled out to favorites that have been there for years, allowing them to simply be assigned to searches rather than do any actual business development work themselves. It was a running observation from our team lead that individual contributors had much higher business development activity numbers than they did, so it's well known throughout the firm that leadership does not lead by example in this manner. In fact, someone was recently promoted to a VP-level client engagement position without ever having brought on even a single new client to the firm, ever, in their many years with the company. How does that happen? They've let go of many, many great recruiters over and past year or so if they aren't considered favorites, despite their higher business development activity than anyone else on the team. They let go of just one person at a time to avoid calling it a layoff, even though that's what it is. Every person who has been let go and subsequently files for unemployment has had their unemployment benefits challenged by Talentfoot through the unemployment office, for completely false firing reasons such as "misconduct." This seems really shady and unethical.
