Pros

Worked in a great team, definitely true about the "trauma-bonding" aspect

Cons

Constant micro-managing: managers will have access to your emails and then come to your desk to ask why you haven't responded yet to an email you received 10 minutes ago The expectation is that you stay late everyday, despite already working a 10 hour day. If you leave on time too much, you'll have a meeting with your manager to discuss your commitment to the role

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.
