Worst agency ever and even worse CEO (Zero stars if possible) - SEO Consultant Type A Agency Employee Review

4 day work week (but there are cons to this too) Cool brands to work with

Ego maniac leadership No trust or autonomy in staff from leadership No freedom of thought 4 day work week is used as a bargaining chip to stop people leaving but this is only if you earn in and even then most people work the fifth day anyway Constant promises and backtracking (company shares, company perks like gym membership, spotify premium) No company perks at all but not paid fairly compared to similar roles Constant over-promising to clients, then not communicating to the team so we're left looking like idiots on client calls Overly project managed so no ability to provide the best for clients, just do the tasks that are 'in-scope' whether they are valuable to clients or not Very high staff churn rate so no one feels comfortable or safe in their jobs Lying to staff about why people have been fired or left 'gross misconduct' when really they were been put on gardening leave and paid off

I was lucky enough to work at Type A from the beginning and have small hand in guiding the company through the 'start up' times! I worked with some incredible clients, from tech SEO to digital PR. I enjoyed the 'on the job learning' aspect and went on some dedicated courses to sharpen up on analytics, account management etc. The 4 day week aspect is obviously a huge draw!

Covid meant we went fully remote, and although we have had to option to use WeWork membership - I missed the office banter and social aspect quite a lot.
