Pros

Kind and smart people, nice perks and benefits. Fast growth if you work on client facing side If you like to learn the harsh realities of life, this is a pretty good place to learn those lessons. That’s the only reason I’m putting this sentence as a pro.

Cons

Working at Brainlabs can be summarized as such: A sales pitch, turned placebo effect, turned Stockholm syndrome all caused by gaslighting from senior leaders once you start feeling the effects and surfacing concerns. Senior leadership is constantly selling to employees without much substance. You’re bought into the idea because they are quite good at presenting ideas. You begin to realize the emptiness of the pitch but won’t leave because the people you work with day to day are so kind and smart and you feel like you’re going through something together. When you finally start presenting your concerns upward, you’re gaslighted to believe what you’re saying is inaccurate.

Pros

You have a CEO who wears a fun hat, so that means he's down with the young folks, I guess.

Cons

It's literally no different than all the other corporate agencies. You won't sleep, you won't eat, and you'll get thrown under the bus. You'll be graded not on your performance, but on how well you follow mundane processes that do literally nothing to produce quality work. Management is obsessed with adding new documents or micromanaging policies for everything they can. Just because employees aren't being yelled at doesn't mean the environment isn't toxic. You will not have a life here, They will not set you up for success.
