Pros

Having worked for a number of pharma agencies over the years and freelanced for several more, Fishawack is head and shoulders above the competiton when it comes to treating it's employees as adults. This shouldn't be a rare attitude, it really is. Employee development and engagement is always a priority, and giving staff the chance to drive their working day autonomously is a real bonus. No blame culture. If it goes wrong, it gets adressed, it's companies keeping other companies delighted with the service they receive. After all, as Roman Emporer Marcus Aurelius said; "That which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees." Fishawack remains the only agency I'd be sad to leave.

Cons

fmcg this definitely isn't. Pharma simply isn't as creative, though it likes to think it is, so be prepared to push the envelope if you want to change hearts and minds.

I'm a happy employee

Pros

I've worked for a fair few companies in my time and I've learnt that no company/business/employer is faultless, however, I'd say Fishawack are doing a pretty good job. I feel really lucky to work for this company, I don't even slightly dread coming into work each day, I love my job, and I personally feel valued and appreciated. What more could you ask? The people are good, the office is nice, the work is interesting, there’s flexibility and trust – I’m a happy employee! There are good perks working for this company, summer and Christmas parties, bonuses, pay reviews, an office lunch every now and again. It’s not over the top, but I think it’s beyond the minimum and I don’t expect much more than that. The company are flexible and trusting. You can work from home every now and then, you get sick pay, I’m left to do my work without constant micromanaging, which I also appreciate. There’s a lot of work, so working for this company suits people who like to be busy and work hard and enjoy some team spirit in getting things done together to meet deadlines. I would have no qualms recommending this company, I hope to continue working here for a long time.

Cons

The only cons I can think of are universal to most companies. There could be a little better communication across the company as sometimes things don't get filtered down or explained; the workflow and quantity of work could be a little better balanced so no one's working late or swamped (although my experience is that this mostly isn't required and is only occasionally asked of you).
