Pros

- Hard-working and young colleagues - Client-facing role - Good exposure to industry updates & best practices

Cons

- Highly demanding position for a really low pay. - Under-resourced teams with undertrained managers. - Hard to push back on clients requests ( even if they are unreasonable). Other agencies are better at ensuring that junior teams isn’t overwhelmed with work. - No time to attend trainings as we are constantly prioritising client requests. - Always someone on holiday meaning you have to cover for their work. If the work balance was respected, maybe people wouldn’t feel the need to take that many days off?? - Working hours aren’t respected like they are in other agencies. People work regularly overtime without complaining about it. You have no choice as you are dealing with 2-3 clients minimum at a time. If you care so much about mental health, please make sure that people aren’t working overtime.

Pros

You're given a lot of responsibility which is great for learning. Most of the people I worked with were nice. Some good perks, such as free lunch shared with colleagues (pre-COVID). Overall, the working environment was pleasant and fun.

Cons

Managers tend to be inexperienced and there's a high rate of unprofessional workplace habits. A special mention goes to people who show up at your desk to request "urgent" help with a project they failed to prioritise properly. I don't know what a normal staff turnover rate is but it felt high at Brainlabs. People seemed to come and go at dizzying speeds. This was demoralising. The workload was often overwhelming. Sometimes this was because of the actual amount of work, and sometimes due to inefficiencies caused by poor management. The salaries are OK but you can easily find better elsewhere. I have mixed feelings about the CEO. He can be supportive and inspiring, but also short-tempered and disrespectful.
