Pros

Good coffee machine, nice building

Cons

POSSIBLE is really just one big wasted opportunity. It could be real success within the network due to the type of clients it has on its roster but due to a multitude of problems it will never even get close to reaching its potential. A good agency isn't built on great individuals, its built on great teams which is something that POSSIBLE lacks. Everyone works for themselves and refuses to muck in and help anyone regardless of the effect this will have on the business. Many of the employees are ultimately short sighted and fail to see the bigger picture. This, combined with a staff attrition rate verging on a joke makes getting anything done in any department almost IMpossible. On an individual level, the lack of strategic direction for the business, non existent induction process and the feeling that you are a worthless number really drags you down and this can be seen on many people's faces leading to a fairly down beat atmosphere more akin to a office trading estate rather than a funky London agency. In short, the agency could be brilliant but ultimately, is not even close to average. Big changes need to be made to make the agency a great but unfortunately not one of these things seems to be on anyone's radar.

Pros

• There are some great people at POSSIBLE • Fun company activities especially if you like drinking • Decent work/life balance • They've managed to convince everyone in Seattle that they're the best place to work

Cons

I've never worked for a company that tries so hard to convey that they're different and that they care about their employees, but then their actions tell a completely different story. Have some integrity. • No employee-training • No clear process given on how to get a raise or a promotion - vague answers by HR seem to be a run-around • Management is very inconsistent - people who are too young or have played politics in a way that only benefits themselves and not the careers they manage • There are the chosen few who have become the darlings of management and then the rest of the POSSIBLE folks who slug along until they figure out the game they can't win • Near cult-like mentality around company events, company meetings and company culture that masks what people aren't getting out of the company in terms of career growth • Many promises made but none kept
