Unfortunately, this company has toxic leadership, and its staff work very long hours. When they say it’s a "fast-paced work environment,” what they really mean is that you’ll spend your days trying to finish a project well into the evening. What often happens is that someone comes up with a new idea or project (i.e. the CEO) at the final hour or on weekends. Or, someone asks for a major redo when a project was kicked off with bare-bones info. A number of projects are also kicked off as urgent and then dropped because there wasn’t enough thought put into each one.
It's the kind of workplace where leadership wants to do a lot without enough resources. Each person is overwhelmed and experiences burnout because they're trying to juggle such a heavy workload and meeting schedule. You will often see the creative team working well into the evening on a regular basis because of so many last-minute changes. Everyone just looks stressed. The result is a lot of turnover so that no team really stays the same for more than a few months.
Additionally, some managers facilitate a "mean girl" workplace with bullying and alienation. It tends to be a very gossipy office environment. Collaboration with other teams is difficult, and the loudest people in meetings talk over the rest. This was truly the most demoralizing job I've ever had in my career.
