Pros

- A handful of really great coworkers who actually want to help and see you and the company succeed - Flexible schedule/ample PTO & paid holidays (pro & con - will get into this in cons) - Get to work with some fun clients & products - Full health benefits, including vision & dental

Cons

- ELT is very out of touch with what the actual day to day work is and what their teams do - The ample PTO & paid holidays is nice in theory, but for those who work directly with clients, it usually still means checking in on days off or work just piles up and once you're back in office you have even more to do - No one takes accountability; the same issues will be brought up to management over and over, yet nothing is done to fix the issues - Training is minimal, especially when people become managers who have never managed people before - In general, most employees are overloaded with client work and the work/life balance is nonexistent - No clear steps or actions outlined to be promoted so promotions feel unattainable, yet people from outside of the company will be hired in at higher positions than longstanding employees - Fully remote and can feel like you're isolated

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.
