Not a great workplace

Creative strategist

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Freedom to do what you want. Hands on experience with clients basically from the moment you start.

Cons

Quite toxic management. Not much support from management. Most of the team is unhappy. Churn of staff is massive, in the time I worked I saw at least 15 people come and go. Very hard to get a salary increase.

Pros

Interesting work and approach to marketing

Cons

Liars. Absolute liars. Never a shred of truth was uttered in any of my dealings with them. On top of all this, the management are very trigger-happy with sacking people in probation period.

Fumbled from the top

Pros

The people (who are all leaving) are wonderful, caring, creative individuals who made every day so much better,

Cons

The senior leadership at this company has managed to undermine what should have been an exceptional place to work; one filled with genuinely talented, passionate people. Unfortunately, toxic leadership has created a work environment that employees no longer want to be part of, and retention reflects that reality. Communication from the CEO and COO has been consistently poor, compounded by widespread mismanagement of employees, their time, and their skills. There is a noticeable lack of empathy at the executive level, and watching major setbacks repeatedly reframed as “wins” by leadership only highlights the deeply flawed foundations the company is built on, foundations that are now visibly collapsing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It's disappointing to receive this feedback but we understand that sometimes certain individuals can get disgruntled when a company is levelling up and growing into it's next chapter. People leaving is a set-back, but bringing in new team members into the squad who are highly experienced and ready to handle the level of growth we are experiencing is a win and as such, that's how it has been framed. We understand that it might not seem that way when there's alot of change happening but the vision for Defiant has never been clearer and in order for us to continue remaining at the forefront of our industry we need to be adapting and moving with the constant change in the industry. We wish you all the best in your career and thank you for your contributions to Defiant.
