Pros

-Certain teams produce great work -Salary is 20%+ industry average for current role -Flexible working conditions (no forced RTO) -Great office & Office patio -Opportunity to learn if you can talk to the correct people -Unlimited PTO -If you're an expert in your field you will excel quickly

Cons

-Reaching for big name clients that we cannot support with current staffing/enterprise tools -Decision makers bend over backwards to retain large spend clients -“Afraid” to stand out ground on strategic topics with clients -Staff is largely overwhelmed with nonsense tasks that do not build a better product -Doesn’t do well at basic reporting tasks, but promotes advanced analytics -Too much upper management with little upward mobility potential -No junior staffing to build a culture and pass down expertise -Forecasting from leadership is WAY off, and hard to trust any estimates -High stress, low morale -Will work more than a 40hr work week -If you are not confident in your abilities, you will struggle

Pros

Amazing CEO and amazing coworkers. Continues to grow in terms of client work and is such a better place to work than some of the larger agencies. No notes!

Cons

None. Literally none. I recommend everyone apply here.

Pros

Great place to work; in terms of PTO, salary is decent. People are great! The CEO is amazing! Everyone is so kind and friendly.

Cons

Management is not very great; there is zero structure here. When we speak up about something, it doesn't ever change. Growth is hard, unless there are new clients.
