Pros

The people continue to be the best thing about the company - hard working, smart and purpose driven - the company takes them for granted. JC is a great CEO of the UK business - they should have her run the whole company.

Cons

Endless reorganisation initiatives led by expensive bloated consulting teams and indecision from the new leader has destroyed this once great company. It’s sad to see what’s happened. So many great visionary leaders have left the global leadership team and what we’re left with are the corporate drones who only care about collecting their bonus. The Ezra ‘experiment’ continues to be an absolute joke - more and more money being plugged into an ego project that is yet to make any money.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
