Hands down worst company to ever work for - RUN!!!!!

Senior project manager

CEO approval

Pros

Allowed to work remotely all the time - also a CON

Cons

They have expectations, but won't share them with you, setting you up for failure. I'm a woman, and even I know all female teams are nothing but vicious and unsupportive. This is amplified here. You will be given about 3 days to get used to everything, literally that is all the time you get. Thrown in and shamed for asking questions, for needing guidance, for asking for clarification on DAY ELEVEN!

Pros

im honestly not sure what to even put here at this point. paid out sabbaticals? so much for taking time off.

Cons

this place is a sinking ship. here are some tips to survive this place: - career opportunities: get on the dream team or die trying, only way to get any type of recognition. - comp and benefits: the conversation will go like this "we love you, you are amazing, you're the best in the world, 3% is the highest we can give you." it's a lie and we all know it. ask around, salary increases are MUCH more for people who ask for it. it's insulting and it's probably why 10 people have quit this month. - culture and values: make your own rules and stick to them, the culture has died and the value of "people first" is laughable. remember when philanthropy was a core value and then the head of philanthropy quit because things were so bad... and no one cared to comment on this...? -diversity and inclusion: give up, clearly leadership has. -senior management: suck up to them or you're on the outs. likability = raises. -work/life balance: give it up or quit, while we claim to be innovative there is absolutely no change to this, the excuse is "it's our industry." recommendation: get out. im working on it.

Fingerpaint Group Response

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Fingerpaint. We’re sorry to hear your experience isn’t matching the intention we have for each of our employees. Fingerpaint does have a newly-formed relationship with a private equity firm, which will enable the agency to continue growing and investing in new services to best serve our people and clients. We are proud to partner with a group like Knox Lane, because they recognize and respect Fingerpaint’s award-winning people and services, and is fully invested in our future success. Culture has been and remains an important part of the Fingerpaint experience. With the virtual world we continue to live in, we are assessing how to reinvigorate that culture (i.e., the forming of the Saratoga Culture Club) so we all feel a little more connected. We remain committed to improving the diversity and inclusion of Fingerpaint, and while this is a long-term commitment, we know that diversity in all regards will only make us better. 2020 was a demanding year, and we understand and continue to appreciate how hard our employees work day in and day out. The past year has forced many to take a deep dive into their own values and life priorities. For some, that might prompt a variety of changes. Fingerpaint stands committed to putting its people first and providing personal and professional growth opportunities. But, we also understand people have choices and should they decide to move in a different direction for whatever reason, we fully support them and wish them the best.

Pros

People are lovely to work with and I do believe leadership is trying...just not well, and not nearly fast enough.

Cons

The company recently went through a very large reorg that it's clear they were in no way prepared for. Months after the announcement, which even management seemed surprised about, and the ad group still feels like everyone just scrambling to do their own things the loudest in the hopes that it will become the official way of doing things. The day-to-day feels confusing and hard to predict, with team assignments getting shuffled constantly and new tools being rolled out every few weeks. I don't feel like anyone up top has a clear idea of how to get us out of this state.
