Pros

Opportunity to work on large brands with exciting concepts There are some great people that work there Fun events Learn a ton of interesting strategies across multiple platforms

Cons

Like most other reviews state, there's little to no work life balance. Working overtime on last minute client asks is one thing, but you're also working against last minute internal asks for other departments. No one will respect your time. There is also some misogyny where bros who are friends with leadership get promoted over individuals who actually get good peer feedback. Lastly, if you're looking for diversity, they have good programs but in practice there is little to no representation of diverse candidates at the top level (skews very white male).

Pros

- 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
