Brainlabs is great

Pros

Great perks, salary progression is clear and structured so you know exactly what to do to progress, the culture here is wonderful and People Ops really look after our wellbeing with perks such as free breakfast/lunch, encouraging a good work/life balance. The training scheme is thorough and great preparation for work. Integration into the team has been quick, and I feel as though I have made a lot of meaningful relationships with my colleagues. People who have already been here less than a year have already progressed to higher pay bands, and people who have been here just a few months seem like they are experts on PPC.

Cons

As others have said, starting salary is a bit on the low side, but when all the perks are taken into account it's worth it. I probably save 4-5K already just by getting free food

Proceed with caution

Pros

* Smart people. * Far less ego than other agencies. * Agile mindset is standard, which is refreshing (although there are chaotic downsides to this.)

Cons

* Cult-like leadership. Limited autonomy for leaders as the founder dictates the approach in many areas (regardless of experience or skillset). * 2 tier company. Original Brainlabbers will always trump the rest of the organisation, creating friction for many. Original Brainlabbers tend not to have the experience that matches their job title. This can sometimes mean that experienced hires will be managed by people who lack their range of experience. * Non existent internal budgets mean much lauded company features and programmes have very little/nothing to underpin them. * Concerning leadership views around DEI mean POC should think seriously before joining the company.
