Pros

Juniors and mid-level employees were all very friendly and worked hard Nice office

Cons

Upper management didn't push back on unreasonable clients and worked managers to keep trying to produce content with unrealistic expectations. Lots of double standards were in place if you weren't friends with upper management and when trying to point it out, management would turn a blind eye. Constantly told that if you need help to just reach out, but there was a lack of support when you actually needed. Minimal training and opportunities for career growth. No standard to when people were promoted and consequently, people were promoted to roles they weren't ready for. "Processes" were put in place to ensure everyone was accountable for their actions but these processes were only enforced on people who weren't friends with management. These processes were also breached constantly but nothing would be done to fix it. High turnover of staff.

Pros

The people there were lovely! Was great working with people who truly celebrate the wins. The company is also very open to putting employees through formal training , which helped my career.

Cons

Bit of a chop shop. The general sentiment was the faster the better. Some clients were tiny and incredibly dull to work on. You only did well at this company if you were lucky enough to be put on a big client - seemed like luck of the draw.

Pros

Great coworkers Autonomy Good perks Great jumping off point into other things

Cons

Weird dynamic sometimes where there’s a lot of pivoting. If a bit of unstructured structure is your thing, go for it.
