      Pros

      Solid recruitment organisation that has a management staff that care about your well being and overall development. Good comms, flexi, nice office environment, good people. Its recruitment, so its hard work but I don't personally believe any sales job is easy.

      Cons

      Parking can be tricky. Base salaries could be in line with other companies.

      Pros

      They paid on time except...

      Cons

      ....when they don't pay at all, then they lie/evade explaining about their taxes paid, until you started getting legally correct on them and demanding they start sending the correct documents as issued by the tax authorities. Dodgy company, not transparent, and dumb "Senior" staff.

      At Darwin, we would like to challenge this review. We operate compliantly within every region in which we recruit, and endeavour to pay all contractors within our agreed payment terms. In the unlikely situation that time worked is disputed, we will, in a timely fashion, conduct further investigations to resolve the dispute, which may delay payment. Our highly trained staff can provide extensive advice around the financial options available to our contractors, but are unable to provide specific tax instruction as each contractor’s personal circumstances differ.

      Seems a good place to work if you know what you what to expect.

      Pros

      They want to invest in young talent and train them up to be experts in their field. The guy they have doing the training is excellent and is able to present the vast amount of information you need to absorb in a manner that is largely successful. The team seem very tight and had good working relationships with each other. Some good incentives to be a top performer. If you are good at sales and competitive you could thrive in this environment

      Cons

      Biggest gripe would be that when they tell you they do not "Hire and Fire" they aren't being strictly honest. They have a recruitment day nearly every other week which normally result in two or more hires. The official line is that they are fast growing, when in truth they usually loose a few early on, either through people not coming back one day or Darwin terminating contracts. Whilst I agree if you haven't got what it takes then Darwin can't be blamed, however the company present themselves as a nurturing place that allows you to grow and will coach you, which I never saw beyond the initial training session. Also there is not much "Consultancy" in the roles at Darwin. It is more often trying to sell a candidate you have never actually met to a hiring manager over the phone.
