Pros

Autonomy, client base, brand, ability to grow and learn, remote friendly, unlimited PTO.

Cons

I don’t like the hours, work-life balance, or the lack of career coaching and mentorship. You need to establish credibility quickly, as favoritism is definitely a factor.

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.
