      Great company and smart employees

      CEO approval

      Pros

      This might be a different type of review, as I was let go, but nonetheless, this company is super well put together. A lot of passion from the CEO and a clear direction on where they are heading in the future. Supportive team members and there is always someone to help you if you need it. They have managed to build a strong culture within a remote environment and I have genuinely made some really good friends in the company. That has to say something for culture!

      Cons

      I would say Directive Daily's are a bit of a miss. Many times they don't touch on something that you would benefit from. Back in the day, the CEO ran the Directive Daily meetings and provided a ton of insight when it comes to business and marketing as a whole. I would suggest they bring that back into the fold.

      Great People, mediocre culture and work experience

      Paid media strategist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -smart people -lots of different clients -good pay and benefits -my AD was awesome

      Cons

      -lack of clear direction -company is constantly in the process of *creating* company culture and process docs which means there is a lot to be desired. There are people ops teams leading these culture charges that are in my opinion totally out of touch. I personally didn’t even know what people ops did or was doing for me, and never saw any tangible benefit. If you aren’t from California you have very little chance of ever connecting with coworkers. -huge emphasis on showing value to clients even when there is none. Branded leads are often tagged as paid search and included in that segmentation in order to make search efforts look better than they are. Saw this in 2/3 accounts -high turnover, 25% of the people I met here as of this date have a new job.
