Pros

- Some really great clients and a lot of exposure to all forms of paid social and other digital channels - Cool office spaces with fun in-office perks - Solid PTO package - Some very talented people still at the company who can teach you a lot

Cons

- Over the past year, an alarmingly high number of important individuals have left the company. This has created a large void between Sr Leadership and what is happening with the day-to-day - Many times you do not know that a Team Lead, Director, or even Sr Director are leaving until the week of which leads to a scramble for staffing - Lack of clear career progression. Many individuals who have been here for a year + are unsure of what their career path looks like or if they can truly grow long-term - Many promotions are passed over for external hires which causes people who know processes, tools, clients, reps to leave the organization - Strangely rigid HR processes that have made individuals feel undercompensated or made the exit process easier as managers have no ability to keep their top performers who may receive external offers - Work life balance is not a thing. Many individuals work on 3+ brands, manage 4+ people, work with reps on every major platform, and launch dozens of campaigns a week. There is currently no structure in place to allow individuals to deep-dive into their client work or disconnect during "off" hours - Lack of urgency from Sr Leadership as Code3 has tried to get things back on track with all of the departures and life post-COVID

Pros

If you’re not at the executive level, you will meet some extremely talented, hardworking people (before they get laid off!)

Cons

Another senseless mass layoff of actual employee talent in favor of keeping a bloated c-suite that adds more white people every day to the top. Dont let them fool you. This place is losing clients by the week because its leaders are phoning it in, using AI to tell them how to think and delivering BS solutions for “proprietary” offerings that always fail to last or work. I feel embarrassed to work here.
