  1. 5.0
    Current Employee, more than 5 years

    Very global and progressive working environment, with healthy balance of freedom and support.

    Mar 5, 2019 - Recruitment Consultant in Tokyo

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Global Support Network. Experienced managers who believe in mentoring - invest a lot of time and effort when people are starting out. Growing office so opportunities for progression Individuals are encouraged to build their own markets and business. As long as you are working hard and contributing to the business and the brand, managers give a lot of freedom with less focus on KPIs. Good commissions. Open and relaxed working environment. Good team work. Flexible working arrangements.

    Cons

    Still a lot more room to implement even more flexible working arrangements to improve work/life balance.

    Working here 4 years now - excellent opportunities for career development & a fun place to work.

    Pros

    I think Morgan McKinley provide their employees with excellent career progression opportunities. The office environment is fun & employees are rewarded well for their achievements. The company is not afraid of change or trying out new ideas/processes. Like any role it is hard work, expectations are high and you are expected to perform but you are encouraged & supported to do this.

    Cons

    Hours can be long & there is a bit of a culture that this is the norm. This is typical of the recruitment industry but maybe more promotion of work/life balance would be beneficial.
