Pros

Directive has pretty much everything that we are all looking for in a company in 2024. The benefits and pay are great, the unlimited PTO is encouraged to be used, and the remote-first policy is real. Even with all of us being remote and all over the place, there are plenty of opportunities to connect with your team and others too, which is nice. It's rare to find a place that can really do remote well and create a sense of comradery between teammates. There are also really great referral programs and bonuses that give you that sense of appreciation for your input to the company's success. I also really like and appreciate how seriously the client load limits are taken, and that people are checking in on your mental health/wellbeing throughout the process. It's clear that leadership here cares about teammates and wants to implement feedback along the way. The dynamic way that feedback is put into processes is reassuring that we're being heard. There are also lots of resources here, and people who have been doing this job for awhile that have done it well, so it's great to learn from them and be able to collaborate on accounts with them. I've loved the perspectives and insight I've gained from more tenured teammates.

Cons

Not that Directive really hires beginner/entry level for strategists, but if you don't know your stuff, you will find it challenging. Some of the training materials and our resources are dated, so it can be hard to find the exact right information quickly. If you don't know your stuff and aren't able to quickly problem solve, you won't know what questions to ask to the resources available.

Pros

My time at Directive so far has been extremely rewarding -- tons of learning opportunities, exposure to a variety of clients across a few B2B SaaS verticals, and working with an outstanding team. We also have outstanding benefits -- easy to overlook but I appreciate it!

Cons

Nothing yet, honestly - I wish we weren't fully remote so I could spend more than occasional time with people in person, but that's a reflection of the current remote working world more than Directive per se, really
