Pros
- I say all this as someone who has been around the industry and others: Code3 is one of the better places I've ever worked.
- Awesome team members, legit some of the best / smartest people I've worked with, including my managers (despite other reviews)
- Love my clients, and leaders have gotten so much better at assigning clients to team members based on interests and specialization (still a work in progress)
- Good managers who care about me and are trying to make it all work
- Fiscal transparency w/ monthly town hall meetings
- Leadership is really trying to make things better in a turbulent macro-economy
- If you are committed to 1% better everyday, and challenging yourself rather than waiting on others to push you, you will excel
Cons
- The main negative is there are a few unhappy team members who want to infect those around them; immaturity even at the mid and lower senior levels makes team dynamics difficult at times
- As with any agency, the hours can be more than 40/week - especially on more complex accounts
- Agency stability is based on client outcomes, more clients = growth, less clients = layoffs - simple business economics tbh
- We could use more junior talent, to develop and provide tactical support, so CP and Activation leads can focus more on client strategy
