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.

Pros

The onboarding experience and the CEO

Cons

Management is extremely inexperienced. Pay is very low. Management heavy. Feels like a factory for digital marketing where the most junior people are getting the majority of work done.
