Code3 Response
2y
We’re saddened to hear that your experience at Code3 didn’t live up to our goals for employee experience. We know that the company has gone through some changes and that change is not always easy or perfect. We’re always striving to learn and grow while keeping all feedback in mind as we continue our journey.
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
