- wfh has been ok, people are understanding mostly
- it is easy to go to a platform if you can survive a year or two
Cons
Nothing substantial has changed since the rebrand. It’s the same company, the same pros (hardly any), the same cons. Please read the SocialCode page before you commit to working here

Hi! I'm sorry to hear your experience has been difficult. I'd love to chat with you and hear more about how things are going. Please reach out to me! -Amy
Above-average compensation
Dynamic team environment
No silo mentality – everyone works towards the same goals.
Interesting projects and campaigns
Managers focus on real results and encourage testing new ideas.
Cons
No coddling – you’re expected to have strong skills and make decisions quickly.
- I say all this as someone who has been around the industry and others: Code3 is one of the better places I've ever worked.
- Awesome team members, legit some of the best / smartest people I've worked with, including my managers (despite other reviews)
- Love my clients, and leaders have gotten so much better at assigning clients to team members based on interests and specialization (still a work in progress)
- Good managers who care about me and are trying to make it all work
- Fiscal transparency w/ monthly town hall meetings
- Leadership is really trying to make things better in a turbulent macro-economy
- If you are committed to 1% better everyday, and challenging yourself rather than waiting on others to push you, you will excel
Cons
- The main negative is there are a few unhappy team members who want to infect those around them; immaturity even at the mid and lower senior levels makes team dynamics difficult at times
- As with any agency, the hours can be more than 40/week - especially on more complex accounts
- Agency stability is based on client outcomes, more clients = growth, less clients = layoffs - simple business economics tbh
- We could use more junior talent, to develop and provide tactical support, so CP and Activation leads can focus more on client strategy
