Robert Walters Reviews

Pros

Training Overseas opportunities Earning potential Career opportunities Fun environment

Cons

Not too many to think of

Pros

The company invests in their people seriously. Managers are great at least the one I'm working with. Not transactional and a very team based working environment. That's the best part as everyone is helping you and vice versa.

Cons

Not any as such. Just needs to be more open to work life balance culture and bring in slightly more mature employees

Advice to Management

Continue being this way with slight improvements to be the best place to be

Pros

Very organized and structured with room to grow. Good salaries and benefits. Management is great and approachable. Great location.

Cons

Non during my time working at RW

Advice to Management

CEO in Singapore is great along with the rest of the management, very pro active and respectful, keep it up.

Pros

Overall a really decent company which tries to evolve and respects the employees' personal time. Throughout my time here, I've never been questioned when I take annual leaves or leave the office on time. Some may think this should be a given but in Singapore, this is actually really hard to come by, especially given it is a sales environment and recruitment is a very competitive business. Company pays above... market basic salary to attract talent. Company has a proper marketing team to support the business in new and creative ways. MD responds to everyone quickly, seems approachable and not known to micromanage.

Cons

Lack of succession planning for Managers and below levels. Senior Consultants are hastily made Managers (for lack of better options) without proper assessment/ development of their leadership qualities. If Managers are not strong, it will be hard to retain good consultants as there isn't any value add and good consultants know they can thrive just as well wherever they go. Archaic bonus scheme should be studied... and relooked into seriously to prevent digruntled high performers from leaving. The HR team is led and run by people with no HR background. Makes you wonder if it is a function taken seriously. Quieter Asian Consultants tend to be bypassed for promotion opportunities while the more demanding ones tend to be fast-tracked.

Pros

Fantastic career development opportunities. Worked/work with some really talented people. Team based. Work hard play hard.

Cons

Discretionary bonus scheme which makes it difficult to manage expectations at times.

Pros

The top management all the way to my direct manager are truly supportive, positive and encouraging in my career development as well as myself as an individual. Zero politics - everyone here work as a team. Very good culture. Not easy to come by especially in a Sales environment. However, my experience at RW tells me otherwise. It is just excellent! I’m truly blessed, grateful and thankful to be part of RW.... :) One more thing - the admin support here team is top notch. The business operations wouldn’t be running so smoothly without them in the back scene. Thumbs up! :)

Cons

Sales environment is stressful everywhere you go.

Advice to Management

Keep up the amazing work!

Pros

- Good benefits - Great support team

Cons

- Directors do not set good example when it comes to leading team - Bad decision making

Advice to Management

Start promoting people that deserve it, do not just value people who can talk.

Pros

Great Management, supportive culture and environment, good office location Strong brand with clients. Great marketing team

Cons

Like any firm, lots of revenue pressure and can be long hours Discretionary bonus is less incentivising than a straightforward comission

Advice to Management

Ensure clear communication about salary potential, bonus potential and positioning of the business in the market. Keep up efforts to encourage work life balance and internal team building across P/Ls
