Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! We always love hearing positive experiences, and it's great to hear you enjoy our company culture, your teammates, and the work-life balance here at Flywheel. We understand that multiple mergers and acquisitions have temporarily caused some instability in working dynamics. Transitions of this nature can be challenging and sometimes lead to difficult decisions. We recognize the strain this has placed on our teams, and we’ve taken steps to stabilize and support our workforce through these changes. We’re actively restructuring our teams to ensure a more balanced distribution of responsibilities and are continually evaluating our staffing needs. Our senior leadership team welcomes feedback over Slack, so we encourage you to reach out to discuss the goals of our engineering function to ensure the work you do day-to-day feels purposeful. Once again, we thank you for your honest feedback and continued support!

Pros

As in most agencies, the best part are the teammates who are on the trenches with you.

Cons

Steer clear. Go anywhere else. In the 3 years I was at Flywheel/TPN they went through no less than 5 mergers or reclassifications. Few of which ever meaningfully impacted the work, but actively drained the agency culture and morale. 4 rounds of layoffs that I remember. NO raises and only 1 review. And a baffling RTO policy that has little to do with collaboration and everything to do with commercial real estate tax benefits. Omni sucks the life out of these incredible agencies, taking decades of innovation and turning them into mere pawns. The leadership has no real authority and views workers not as people, but numbers. The "clean desk" policy means there's zero personality in the office. Because people are not rotated off old accounts there's not fresh perspective. High stress and there no chill. I've never cried so much at a job. Not used to coworkers being so rude, cold, and snappy. Omnicom is pushing AI and monitoring if you're using it regardless of whether it's necessary or makes sense for your role. There are better agencies out there, go apply there and leave Flywheel to fix their model.
