      Pros

      - Great people for the most part. - Fun clients. - Unlimited PTO. - Work from home. - Good benefits.

      Cons

      - Management has no idea what’s going on. -Issues need to be flagged 10 times before action is taken, and that’s if it is ever even taken. - They preach about mental health and work life balance, but I can’t even begin to count the amount of times myself and others have worked 10-15 hour days. - No promotions unless you are a clear favorite. - Expected to work LOTS of overtime. - Lots of layoffs. - Having to work during PTO. - Expected to work on company holidays and weekends. - Expected to work while your sick because there’s no coverage. - Expected to pick up the slack of higher ups. So many cons I can’t even list them all, but it’s hard because the clients are great and it is a fun place to work. Your peers will care about you and your well being, but upper management won’t. I loved working here when I first started but about a year and a half in it just started to spiral down hill. The company was loosing clients, layoff after layoff, poor management, lots of employees in higher roles that didn’t even work, etc.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that uncertainty can be challenging, and we’re committed to continuously improving by listening and adapting.

      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
