Pros

The people are so passionate about putting out high-quality work. They are driven and confident, and truly value innovative approaches.

Cons

I've never been in a work environment with so much back stabbing, hate and lack of professionalism. The company does a poor job of training employees, which is bad for a "training company." One person can approve something you've done and the next person can tell you the same thing is all wrong. This presents a crazy amount of rework and inability to learn and grow. There's no accountability at the company level for poor clarity on roles, responsibilities and expectations. If you click, you click. If you don't, you're belittled and sent on your way. At least 20+ people have recently left Unboxed because they felt bullied, not valued and realized the place is quietly crumbling under poor leadership. Word is starting to get out about this company. I agree with other reviewers--at the core of Unboxed's issues sits an aggressive COO who threatens to fire people when they disagree with his way and his vision, even if raw data supports an alternate path. I've seen people spend an entire hour crafting a four sentence email to this man, because they've lost their confidence and are fearful of his feedback on anything.

Pros

Creative, smart people at this company. They work hard to please their clients and each other. Since the company is a 'startup', there is little structure or rules. I learned a lot because I was exposed to many new projects and had to figure it out on my own. I also had the opportunity to wear many hats as there are never enough people to get the work done in a growing company. The company generates great ideas and I enjoyed working with some great people.

Cons

The culture needs work. Senior leadership is inconsistent and managers are inexperienced learning from poor examples. They make promises to clients without considering impact on those that must deliver the work, leading to way too much overtime, and cutting corners. The COO, in particular, while creative and smart; is controlling, micro-manages, undercuts his talent, and is overly critical. He has a knack for killing rather than instilling confidence in others. Leadership is quick to point fingers and fire others never taking responsibility for contributing to issues in the workplace.

Pros

Overall a great bunch of people. Growing company made every day different. Fast paced agency environment was exciting and fun. Great clients - made some deep connections and friendships in a short time.

Cons

What I was hired to do was not actually what CEO and COO really wanted. I left a great job to come on board under false pretenses. Both my predecessor and successor had the same issue with role clarity and expectations. Since I left, there are 17 new people in place, which is great, right? Seems like growth, but the reality is almost that many have left.
