Good vibes, no growth - Analytics Director Jellyfish Employee Review

lovely wonderful company life of friends

it ended when i couldve done more

None. Poor leadership, unrealistic expectations and a culture that prioritizes short-term revenue over both employees and clients

This is a textbook example of an agency where leadership is disconnected from the day-to-day reality of client work. Senior executives are heavily involved during the pitch process to win new business but once the contract is signed, delivery teams are left to manage accounts that were often under-scoped and aggressively priced to secure the win. Teams are then expected to account for every minute of their time in order to maintain profitability (time is precisely tracked on Salesforce) that were never realistically staffed or budgeted in the first place. The result is constant pressure, burnout and a focus on utilization metrics rather than delivering great work. Employee morale suffers from a culture that often feels driven by politics and favoritism rather than merit. Leadership messaging is heavily disconnected from the challenges teams face, creating a lack of trust throughout the organization. Client turnover has been significant and it's difficult to understand how some accounts have remained given the recurring operational issues. Overall, a frustrating environment marked by poor leadership, questionable decision-making and a toxic culture.
