Pros

Have few like amazing pantry, fridge filled with fruits and snacks for poor recruiters who work at night shift, super tasty vendor food, a VP who is extremely sweet just like a grand pa next door who pokes on everyone's business, skilled managers who will guide you to teal path, humiliate you, give you lots of self doubts, one will also teach you to take very many leaves and don't apply, micro manage your every move. Leaders, without people working with them because we teach being leader in real life, professionally you have anyone or not working with you doesn't matter actually. amazing recruiters who are bundle of show offs so that they come under our VP's good books and he will take only those recruiters name in front of onsite people of course to make there career, for eg he made 1 recruiter tester, how amazing! invested companies money on her to get her certified so she keeps showing off, made 1 college grad team lead and now a team manager within 2 years, also invested companies money on creating a sourcing team for her so she can work comfortably, so employee friendly! Made 1 a trainer who was not performing actually so making sure her income increases he made her a trainer doesn't matter she has any knowledge or not, have communication skills or not she now trains new hires and current recruiter too some time, such a big hear of our VP! created many leaders and gave hope to few college grads to make them future lead when they receive some $1 $2 margin placements of course to keep them motivated anyways company is there to fund there training, experience doesn't play any role here. we keep having townhall meeting held by our own VP he gives us lots of information about how we are not working and how we are not producing anything for the company, and how we should be giving feedbacks to each other even if it doesn't matter but give feedback they got trainers to teach us have the same tester whom he gave career opportunity as a conflict resolution person, our company spend so much money on few recruiters so glad.

Cons

lets talk about cons, looks like img is over the trainer & HR being a couple once upon a time who ditched our sweet VP so we have a new pair roaming around all the time like stick notes this time its new its the tester and a recruiter, how sweet seems like a company that supports love and peace. oh peace is also there because of amazing floor we have where we all sit like a family and hear each others calls. here we don't value senior recruiters we promote more people from college to come and impress our VP so eventually he can help them becoming leaders. here we humiliate you even if you are working for tough accounts and make enough efforts. if you don't have numbers to show oh hoo VP will take care of you then. ofcourse the people who butter and have no or 2-3 placements will sit and show off they have work and butter him they are safe because he will make sure these people are involved in every teal process so the Canadians notice them. here they will give you to work on niche skills and if you don't give numbers they will call you & break you mentally. later fake around to tell how we are different than other companies. here we have extra loud kids definitely Vp's favourite and future leaders. seniors recruiters are kept to give least hike inspite of working hard, well butter wasn't involved and insulting words from VP comes as incentives for you. we have common commission plan where there are recruiters who does 2-3 placements a year and butters Murali or gets involved into inkling, sensing responding, offsite training and eventually eats money of recruiters who work hard and get those placements in. we have a process called RAP, which is everyone's cup of tea now because as we are a transparent and teal company anybody can change there position by taking advice from random people, but guess what? people who became successful in that are who are close to VP as he has a big heart he wants to invest money on these people and blame hard working recruiters for there productivity and cries how pathetic our budget is I wish he consider not flying to India in business class every now and then and stop staying at 5 star hotels and stop investing on his img kids too train them and certify them in showing attitude we would save a lot of money.

Hi... this is the second "butter" post you have posted on Glassdoor. After the first post, I offered for you to reach out to me confidentially so I could help you work through and address your issues. As far as I know, you have not yet attempted to deal with your issue(s) in any proactive manner. In response to your Advice to Management, I want to be clear about the following: I have no issue at all with any person criticizing the company, myself, or Murali (the “VP”) publicly on a website like Glassdoor – we signed up for that when we took the responsibilities that we have – in fact, we welcome any/all criticism because it helps us to learn and improve. However, I will not give weight to the advice and/or perspective(s) of a person who is willing to use a public website to anonymously slag their peers and colleagues. In my opinion, it is the equivalent of online bullying and it should be against Glassdoor’s usage policies. I would urge you to consider the hurtful impact you are having on your peers and I would ask you to remove details that target individual colleagues from your post(s). You may very well have legitimate issues with others or the company that need to be addressed. I would refer you to our Resolution Practice materials as a guideline, ask you to get the support you need, and begin taking a more constructive path to resolving your issues. Respectfully, Tim Masson Chief Steward & CEO.

All Reviews in Glassdoor is fake

Pros

Look. All the reviews in Glassdoor are fake. The managers and the Vice President will force every employee to write positive things about the company. So don't think this is a good place to work just by looking at the ratings in Glassdoor. A buffalo's milk producing company is more fun and stable to work at than this place

Cons

Manager's act as if they are God's gift to Mankind. The VP is a nosy guy who wants to know your personal life more and more. There is so much partiality here. If you want to prosper and climb up the ladder, make sure you massage the ego of your leads, managers and most importantly the Vice President. They speak of being a feminist but actually is a womanizer

Hi there ... this feedback is delivered in a harsh tone, which surprises me because we are constantly communicating that we are open to feedback at all levels throughout our organization and that we want to work through issues that arise (every employee in the company has received training on how to give and receive candid feedback in a productive way). If you are a current employee (as you indicated) please reach out to me - I'm happy to discuss your situation and try to understand it better. If you have already moved on to another company, we wish you all the best in your future roles. Thanks! Tim

Pros

- Friendly Colleagues - Very Flexible

Cons

- I would ask for feedback, I was told that I was doing perfectly fine and there was nothing to worry about... I have never heard a single complaint about my performance issues during my employment issues, but was fired very abruptly (along with several other people) over vaguely explained "performance issues" - Not clear with intentions - Very odd how carelessly and abruptly the situation was handled.
