Pros

Financially rewarding Nice office Good for people who like socials, primarily ones centred around drinking

Cons

If you want to work somewhere you can truly bring yourself to work, this isn’t the place for you. In fact, senior management advise against it so that you fit into your team. Never have I been so unhappy in a job. Partners are relatively young and junior and have no problem dumping their workload on those more junior, accusing teammates of not delivering when they’re stretched across multiple searches, essentially running it end to end without any help. The culture is painted to be friendly, welcoming and warm but it’s the complete opposite. So so glad I’ve left, it was truly horrendous and the epitome of ‘money can’t buy you happiness’.

Pros

True has been a great place to be, and I've enjoyed working here. I have no doubt they'll surpass the SHREK firms in the not-so-distant future. The people here are A+. If the broader platform play comes together cohesively, the company will see huge successes from that

Cons

There is certainly a lot that, despite being 14 years old, they're still figuring out. Upper management is truly phenomenal both professionally and personally, but they are disconnected from the search work happening on the ground and the broader market dynamics. True takes on too much work, and capacity is always a problem. Commissions and splits are lower than the market average, and I feel nickel-and-dimed every time a new contract comes in.
