Pros
- Very talented, next level designers, 3D artists, digital artists and creative directors. - People do the best they can, given the freedom they are afforded (little).
Cons
Well, there are some truly talented creatives, marketers, developers and translators within the marketing team. There are laughs and some good times to be had. There are some very cool and skilled people who work here. It could be so, so, so much more with better leaders and systems - but mostly leaders. - Marketing leadership; paranoid, amateur people leaders. - Deadlines and workload; randomly generated, frequently impossible. - Meetings; trivial, uninspiring. - Workflow systems: perpetual bottlenecking and unrefined. - Culture; none to speak of. There is no positive reinforcement, recognition, or upskilling (other than the skill of navigating internal politics - which is, by the way, an absolutely critical skill to surviving here, but utterly pointless post-5pm and ultimately meaningless going forward in your life). Senior Leaders take credit, curry favour, flavour of the week, quick to criticise, moody, panic, throw you under the bus, 'have a word'. Unequipped at a personality level. Performance reviews = theatre; no suggestions taken on board. Even with time to upskill/learn - which there isn't - there's no genuine desire to see somebody grow, but rather to mold and manufacture somebodies tolerance to the arbitrary behaviour marketing leaders will exhibit, based on whatever pressures they are feeling at that time. There is no HR team. Deliberately. Other reviewers have covered this. Though there are capable and talented leaders within other departments, Marketing is a corporate dystopia stricken by cultural poverty. If you have potential, or want to work in a motivating, supporting, modern, or sensible environment - please think twice. Don't ignore the other reviews about marketing.
