Pros
- Mature work environment. People are treated like adults here and not micro-managed. It’s a hybrid-working model and we have core hours or 10am-4pm when we must be in the office, but other than that, you can manage your day as you need, to allow for extra-curricular activities, such as gym sessions, doctor appointments, school run and anything else that might be required - Culture. It’s extremely difficult to find disagreeable people in this company. Collaboration and camaraderie are strong here, but without the horn-blowing environments of some companies. People tend not to have egos here, even the very top billers, and the senior management proactively consistently engage with the more junior folk - Caliber of consultants. The average biller here bills significantly more than any other company for which I’ve worked - Friday afternoons off. Another demonstration of the trusting environment. If you wish, you can log off for the afternoon on Friday, to allow for people to truly get into the flow of the weekend. Long weekends require only taking a half day of annual leave to achieve 3 full days for the weekend - Support outside of core work topics. We have a plethora of extremely useful benefits, such as financial coaching, private medical insurance, mental health support, Lunch & Learns and other benefits too - In-office support. You are given a buddy when you join to help you bed in well and there is an in-office People & Culture professional you can speak with, if you are ever struggling with anything at any point - Extra-curricular opportunities. Many different events are run to support with fun and general wellbeing, such as padel, Pilates, yoga, cycling trip, 3-peaks challenge, charity days, mindfulness and we even had laughter therapy here recently! - Great office currently and moving to an upgraded one in a few months too, in London Bridge - Social events. Many different events are run each year, such as the summer and Christmas parties, quarterly company parties, lunch clubs, high achiever work trips and then team-specific events and nights out. We also have a drinks trolley that goes around the desks every Thursday - Platinum scheme. I currently have the opportunity to earn up to 42.5% of my billings, which I feel is ahead of the curve in the recruitment industry, and this rises further as you become more senior I did hear that Investigo was actually voted the best company to work for across the whole of Glassdoor a number of years ago (across all industries, so not even just in the recruitment field) and it’s understandable why.
Cons
The threshold is quite high, so if you don't hit that then of course you won't earn any comms. But the platinum scheme means you earn well, so you've just got to get over that certain level.
