Pros

- During my 6 months at Sphere I really got on with all the other graduate employees (by all I mean 4). - Office is in a good location.

Cons

- Non-existent culture. Recruitment is renowned for being hard-working yet very sociable, which is something I felt everyone in the office was looking for. This was an unattainable goal in this office, with staff frequently being told to "shush" and many a 10 - 11 hour day was spent in silence. - In the 6 months I worked there, there was only ever a maximum of 5 grad consultants. All of whom have now left and are yet to be replaced. This speaks volumes. - Hours are long. Completely expected in recruitment, but made difficult due to the office environment, and worsened yet by the judgement and negative comments received when leaving after a 10 hour shift. - Micro-management like nothing I have ever experienced. No trust in carrying out the most simple of tasks, constantly questioned after every phone call, email, etc. Not only is this demotivating, but also massively time consuming. - Poor commission structure (although the company will argue it's the best in the business), no perks, no incentives. - During my time there the office made perhaps 1 (at a push 2) fees a month; again making it a very demotivated environment. - Outdated company - website hadn't been updated in 10 years, no social media presence, no attempt made to update practices with the changing times. - Recruitment isn't known for its high morals, but as a firm that supposedly prides itself on their ethical practices, they should really put some more thought into how they treat both candidates and employees. Some particularly unethical occurrences in my time there.

Pros

Reasonably social, other Grads made it worthwhile

Cons

Terrible management - child-like behaviour at times. Didn't motivate or even inspire anyone, became very petty to the point where all respect was lost. Waste massive amounts of time on fake jobs/no buy-in from clients.

Pros

Following the completion of my degree, I was very passionate about going into a business that would focus heavily on graduate training and development. I have found the management to be extremely patient and very dedicated to their graduates which has allowed me to progress really quickly within the business whilst being constantly challenged and developing new skills. Ultimately what you put in is what you get out of working here and working with similar, motivated and like-minded people coupled with flexible working hours makes working here really enjoyable! You have regular development meetings with your Management which allows you to stay really focused and challenged throughout the week whilst given the opportunity to interact honestly with your Managers about all aspects of your work.

Cons

have found none so far!
