Randstad reviews

Complete psychopaths that work on whatever jobs they want and just lie to your face Very petty culture and nobody at management level can make a decision. Zero atmosphere in the office and an insidious culture. The majority of people are there for a visa and of the ones that aren't, probably 90% are only there as wouldn't last elsewhere. - as a result it's THE most mediocre environment known to man. Senior management are clueless and promote whoevers face fits to the point that it's almost embarrassing hearing some of the help they give out. Staff turnover is very high (and they then stopped reporting those figures on the monthly report) Inconsistent branding - they claim social responsibility yet work with tobacco companies

-No work life balance. Management does not encourage work/life balance. The team is encouraged to guilt others when they do take time off. -"Frat boy" corporate culture. Very much a "boys club." Lots of partying, competition, drama, and politics as a regular part of the culture. This is encouraged from the top down. -Some managers are better than others. They have their strengths - there is not a single manager in Toronto Head Office that is equally balanced as a business and people manager. -High-stress culture. Prepare to sacrifice your mental/physical health for the exhausting demands of the job - or supplement with extensive partying and drugs (which is why there is so much of it amongst the team). -Lots of favoritism from management. Account Managers are viewed as the highest class - and if you're not an Account Manager, you're treated as less than. -Very KPI-driven environment. This can be positive for some, negative for others - just know what you're getting into. -Incredibly high turnover due to the above reasons. "Revolving door" is a term commonly used at Randstad.
