Frazer Jones reviews about "management"

Horrible management, brutal, they don’t care, they just want to make money. No flexibility either

- Senior management has changed significantly over the past 1-2yrs, resulting in a leader that few believe in - Bonuses very much 'finger in the air' - they'll pay as little as they think they can get away with (I was there for a number of years and it was always the same). If you have a slow start to the year, it makes catching up your shortfall and making a bonus very difficult. This is perhaps their biggest problem as a number of consultants would openly just 'ride the year out' and not push themselves. - Focus on hiring junior (cheap!) 'Associate Consultants' which is diluting what the brand was known for - If you're face fits, great. If not, you'll stagnate at the same level with increasing pressure. - Benefits, whilst similar to most competitors, are generally poor (mat leave for example)

the management at frazer jones are awful and nasty

Same as above. Very cliquey culture.

It’s a fast-paced environment, and expectations are high — but that’s part of what makes it exciting. You need to be proactive and adaptable, but if you’re driven, you’ll thrive.

The management style was toxic — driven by ego, riddled with contradictions, and completely devoid of self-awareness. Micromanagers ran the show, with no respect for personal boundaries or trust in their team. Leadership was out of touch, obsessing over petty details like employee schedules and personal lives instead of focusing on actual business outcomes. The hierarchy was suffocating, deliberately limiting consultants’ growth and sabotaging any chance of developing real client or candidate relationships — effectively making promotions impossible. Targets were absurd, with expectations totally disconnected from market realities. Worst of all, the company resorted to posting fake job ads to bait job seekers, knowingly exploiting people’s hopes during an already difficult time.

Like all firms there are tweaks, but nothing of any note that I have found.

The culture changed very quickly over the last 2-3 years, becoming much more KPI driven Unfortunately, your face needs to fit in order to be promoted or have buy in with senior management Whoever talks loudest will often have their way Quite a 'boys club' mentality. If you're not one to go out drinking, it's difficult to fit in. It's extremely smoke and mirrors - very little is communicated internally from the Board unless you're part of the in crowd. It's difficult to know which direction the firm is moving in as the communication is very poor.
