Houston | Ottimo ufficio: sono felice di aver cambiato ufficio! - Recensione dipendente - Practice Manager presso Michael Page

Great place to grow your career—there’s a clear path to advance and strong professional development. The culture is very team-oriented, with people who support and push each other to succeed. High energy in the office makes it an engaging environment to be in every day. Great leadership that’s supportive and invested in your success.

Commission can be challenging to earn early on due to ramp-up targets, but this is offset by a strong base salary. As you gain experience and consistently perform, the opportunity to earn commission increases significantly.

Working at Michael Page felt less like a professional workplace and more like a corporate surveillance experiment. The micromanagement was genuinely absurd — if your Teams status went yellow for even a minute while working from home, expect a video call almost immediately to make sure you were “working.” Employees spent more time explaining what they were doing than actually doing their jobs. The company completely misrepresented flexibility during the interview process. Candidates were promised work-from-home options after six weeks, only to find out they were expected in-office five days a week for 6 months. Another thing misrepresented was the bonus structure - you have to bill a certain amount in a quarter to even receive a bonus at all. If you miss that target by $1, expect an $0 bonus for the quarter. This was not clearly represented in the interview. Every day started with a mandatory meeting where you had to justify everything you did the day before and explain every move you planned to make that day. Miss your dial target by one call? Prepare for a lecture the next morning. Management operated through intimidation, public embarrassment, and control. Junior employees were openly humiliated in team meetings, managers inserted themselves into employees’ calls to control conversations, and deals were taken from team members. The environment was immature, unprofessional, and toxic from top to bottom. I once received a text asking whether I was “planning on coming in” while I was literally in the elevator at 8:25 AM for an 8:30 start. That level of paranoia and distrust defined the culture. The business model is to prey on new grads who don’t know any better. Run. If you value autonomy, professionalism, or basic respect in the workplace, avoid this company.
