Business Outlook
Pros
The Michael Page Brand has been invaluable on my CV since moving on. The core training provided across a number of roles was all very comprehensive, with a real focus on soft-skill development - particularly cold-calling. Working in the MP offices provided a really wide social network of primarily 20 something professionals. Working in the luxurious offices was a real positive and although the days were long, it was often a lot of fun.
Cons
There was often too much rivalry & competition between the different recruiters - candidate hoarding was an issue. Also, there were huge egos and arrogance to deal with, and the firm's culture of working long hours was done so above and beyond what was agreed contractually.
