Where do I begin… Metric Search was easily the worst place I’ve worked. The vibe was a weird mix of cult and prison rules. Casual chat? Nope. Say anything non workrelated and you’d get pulled into a meeting like a naughty schoolkid. They nitpicked everything, making the whole place feel tense and uncomfortable. You were basically chained to your desk,constantly monitored, and expected to work nonstop with zero empathy,flexibility and annual leave was taken for you on cetain dates. And the commission structure? Completely unclear it was super vaugue, you could be getting anything they were very hush hush about the actually amount.
Once they rebranded to “2.0” the place truly spiralled. The CEO and COO lost all grip on reality acting like they were running some revolutionary empire while ignoring basic human decency. If you weren’t billing $50k+ a month you were invisible if you’re lucky and bill once you’ll get a “hi”. The reviews? All fake cheerleaders. Real truths get smacked down with excuses and denials. No surprises just another cover-up to hide the mess...they deflect, deny and hope no one notices.
Management was a full-blown power trip. No training, no people skills, no clue how to lead, just a lot of inflated egos barking orders and making up rules as they went. There were no proper HR processes, no GDPR or onboarding training, nothing. People were fired at random, whether for not billing or simply not being part of the favourites club.
If you’re thinking of joining…don’t. There are far better recruitment agencies out there that actually value people and understand leadership isn’t about control. This place is all hype, no heart.
