Not the best opportunity

Pros

Some incredibly lovely and smart people work at Tank. There is certainly an intention to make things fun so there are some interesting days/events/parties, and often beer in the fridge.

Cons

As with many smaller agencies, the teams run especially lean at Tank and with zero processes in place there is no lattice to support the variety of scenarios that crop up daily. The burden of last-minute requests from absurd clients (who will never hear the word 'no') will almost inevitably fall to those who 'can' stay late and work excessive hours, so basically none of the partners and no one with children. It seems as though some people are running around constantly trying to build their career and covering for everyone else, while others have hung on for years and use Tank as a way to kill time between weekends. Upper management has perfected the four day work week. The sad thing is that this place had an opportunity to be great at one point, but the owners just want to phone it in. Don't be lured in with proclamations of low turnover, minimal burnout, and a fun community; none of that could be further from the truth. Low turnover sure, but you'll quickly identify this set of people who would probably stay in their seats through an apocalyptic event (before peeling out at 4pm and ruminating on everyone else's shortcomings ). People are just spinning their wheels while the company flat lines. In the end, like pretty much any company, Tank does not actually care about their employees no matter how much the powers that be tell themselves a different narrative every day. Would not recommend.

Thank you for your insight. While we know Tank provides a wonderful environment and culture to produce great work with great people, it is helpful to see different perspectives. We have always maintained very open and transparent communication across all levels at Tank - we hope you'll discuss your concerns with us.

Pros

A collaborative environment to work in, where everyone has a voice, and where all work is appreciated. They hire some of the best, and every employee is great to work with. Also have an impressive client roster that keeps growing. Management is very supportive and considering of their employees. A sink or swim environment.

Cons

Consistent communication and reviews for employees could be done more frequently. A sink or swim environment.
