      Pros

      Great company, autonomy, flexibility, passionate leadership

      Cons

      Sells itself to be a breakaway from a traditional recruitment agency, but many of the systemic grievances occur

      Thank you for the review!

        Pros

        Although, it started off well and everyone was extremely welcoming you soon realise it is a very competitive, toxic and unprofessional environment where those who have been there for 10 years plus are important and the rest are irrelevant. People practices are tick boxes and mangers are not capable of managing a team.

        Cons

        Rude and inappropriate staff members Everything shown is for show, nothing genuine.

              Pros

              Fantastic coaching culture, where you set your accountabilities, with the autonomy to deliver on your own business plan Lots of support, training and development. We have an L&D team that deliver training, as well as regular external professionals that come in to deliver topical sessions. We take our Gold Investors in People accreditation very seriously and we are very proud of it. Our leadership team is very approachable and open to suggestions on new ways of working, or capitalising on new opportunities, implementing new tools etc. We run initiatives to give back to the community, such as HR Energy, Finance Leadership Programme, Women's Leadership Programme, Best Employer's employee engagement and culture survey, and more. Our socials are fun, with big events in the summer for colleagues, and a Christmas party for colleagues and their partners. We have plenty of get togethers throughout the year too. Structured promotion targets that are clear from the outset Half day off for your birthday and a gift from the Directors. Fantastic brand to work for, they are so well known across the region

                  Pros

                  Unlike any other agency I have experienced. They genuinely have what's best for the candidate and client at heart. Very supportive culture, no new idea is ignored and they are always explored. Some of the best senior consultants/managers/directors that I've had the pleasure of working with. There all so invested in the local economic region running seminars and giving back at every opportunity. Team commission brings everyone further on board - the better we do as a team the more earning potential for all.

                  Cons

                  Difficult one to say really - we have everything that a modern agency does. A bigger breakout area would be nice to get away for some breathing space and have informal chats.

                    Pros

                    Working with talented people with strong ethics in a fantastic environment where the focus is on adding value rather than KPI's Exceptional levels of employee engagement Excellent leadership team who provide clear strategic focus in a supportive and inspiring way

                    Cons

                    Flat hierarchy works well and there is plenty of opportunity to develop and take on interesting projects. After many years some consultants take the difficult decision to move on and take on other challenges but it's hard to leave because you feel part of a family.

                      Pros

                      Pure is an innovative company that is constantly growing, this allowed me to find my position within the company and grow with them. I worked at Pure while studying my A levels, Pure helped me not only decide my career but they helped me understand the path I needed to take to achieve my goals. Having worked in many other offices since my time at Pure, none can compare to the ‘buzz’/atmosphere in the office every day. Overall my time at pure was extremely enjoyable due to the team culture they have created between, employees, candidates and customers.

                      Cons

                      Only spending a year within the company

                        Pros

                        The culture at Pure is embedded throughout the organisation. There is genuine motivation to live the values and look after clients, candidates and each other. There is always the desire to improve and evolve, making it an innovative and trusting place to work. The benefits are great, there is room for personal and professional development and a work/life balance is thoroughly encouraged.

                        Cons

                        We need to demonstrate better, how great it is to work at Pure.

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
