Pros

Smart, good people Big name clients Fast paced, lots of opportunities

Cons

I’ve never seen such rampant workaholism in my life. People here have little to no sense of boundaries, and the ones who are rewarded seem to sacrifice their lives for their jobs. Known has a wonderful mission and aspiration, but unfortunately it ends up just being that - aspirational. Not sure if they really represent “a better way” of doing things in the agency world. Despite the company boasting integration, projects are often STILL very siloed between departments. I get the sense that everyone has been stretched thin and burned out for the past year at least. We’ve grinded long hours, we’ve watched our friends get laid off in seemingly nonstop waves, and - here’s the cherry on top - no one has gotten a bonus this year. If it wasn’t for the people, many of us would have left a long time ago.

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.
