Pros

Overall good work / life balance Nice office in a central location with snacks and lunch twice a week Good calibre of brands Some great benefits

Cons

Way too top heavy in management Senior leadership do not take feedback very seriously and seem to be exempt from rules given to everyone else They’re consistently trying to get to work faster but in a way that compromises quality They’re not set up for good production capabilities The environment is now very very corporate

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback. Yikes, we definitely don’t think we’re past our peak - there is so much exciting stuff in the works - including production! But it’s important and valuable to hear if that’s how it’s feeling to you right now. Getting to better work faster is absolutely not about prioritising speed over quality - it’s about agility as we scale, spending less time in emails and meetings and more time making work we love! But it’s a good watch out for us to be aware of. We totally agree that our people and culture are what makes Born Social special. Corporate is not the vibe we’re going for and we passionately believe in holding leaders to the same, if not higher, standards of behaviour and impact. If you want to chat about this to help us understand this more, we’d really like that.

Pros

I have just finished up a 3 month SMM FTC with Born Social am genuinely a bit sad to leave! I was really impressed with the strong, collaborative work-culture & even though I worked remotely, I felt part of the team & fully supported from day one. My experience was made even better by reporting in to Zoe who's a healthy mix of patient, uplifting & professional. The agency adopts clear processes & I learned a lot around brand building, stategy & creative, particularly when working with new accounts. Born's client list is top notch. Before the FTC I contracted as a "Croudie" for 2.5 years whilst living in Europe & travelling India. I loved seeing how the moving parts come together to work fluidly as one. Highly recommend the Croud Network to anyone who wants to work ad-hoc or remotely.

Cons

If I were to be very critical it the workflow could be low / high, but fully appreciate this is the nature of agency. Born managed resource allocation well via their professional services automation platform.
