Pros
- Colleagues are great and friendly, but more of the good ones are leaving, so not sure how good the workplace environment will be in time to come. - Good for entry-level, everyone here sees this place as a stepping stone.
Cons
The whole structure is like a sinking ship, and the only saving grace is a handful of managers who can lead but are not given the right support. There are a few credit-hogging managers. They take credit while their teams are the ones doing all the heavy lifting. Favoritism is practically written in neon lights. Some lucky souls get to bend the rules and enjoy special treatment. KPIs? Forget about it. The goalposts are on a perpetual vacation, making performance reviews a circus. Now, let's talk about our CEO. Delusional is an understatement. While the rest of us see the value in being friendly with other media agencies in the industry, this guy's convinced we're the kings of the jungle and everyone else is a threat. Newsflash: nobody else is buying into that fantasy. Most people at the company believe that getting along with other companies will help us grow in the industry. Leaving this joint is like escaping a mafia clan. Management can't stand it when someone finds a better opportunity, as if we owe them our firstborn for the privilege of working here. And here's a pro tip: watch your back. There are a few snitches lurking around, cozying up to the boss and reporting your every move. It's like high school drama in this gossip mill. Lastly, if we want to be taken seriously in the industry, can we please stop trying to be a jack of all trades? Everyone in this company likes using the term "accredited media" to boast about their status in the industry but with the number of news sites in the country...that's not as big of a feat as they think it is. No one takes the company seriously as they want to be a mix of a gossip site, a lifestyle site and a news site.
