Management has pushed me to think bigger, not play it safe
Pros
I’ve seen a review saying management holds people back and only wants what the company is used to. That has not been my experience at all. On my team, I’m regularly asked to bring ideas, show multiple directions, and explain my thinking. If I have a strong reason for a choice, leadership is open to it, even if it is not the “usual” approach. This place is not rigid in the way that review describes. Things change fast, and the team adjusts. I have watched people try new approaches, test new formats, and improve process based on what is working, not based on “this is how we have always done it.” Also, I have not felt stuck or blocked from growing. I get feedback that helps me improve, and I’ve had real conversations about what leveling up looks like. People actually want you to get better here.
Cons
It is still client work. That means guardrails, approvals, and tight timelines sometimes. Not every idea will get approved by clients, and sometimes you have to move quickly.
