Pros

Code3 has gone through a lot of changes since the pandemic, like most agencies. It led to some layoffs and stability issues. Leadership recognized the business needed to change and have been putting process, training, and other business fundamentals in place. The people are truly great to work with. Benefits are great, there’s unlimited PTO, retirement, good healthcare, dental. The company is actively working every day to improve things and get the business in a better place. If you stay for the long haul, there is a lot of growth in the company. It will require dedication and showing up for your clients and team. The company is adaptive to change.

Cons

Because of the challenges, some teams are strapped and tight on the work. It is leading to frustration and burn out. Management very much recognizes this and is trying to fix.

Thanks so much for this thoughtful review! It's great to hear that the work we've been doing is starting to show and, more importantly, having a positive impact on our Coders. Staffing our teams in the best way to support our clients and provide a great experience for our team members is always on our mind and actively working on.

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

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.
