      Pros

      — Some super cool coworkers — I get a paycheck every 2 weeks

      Cons

      — Executive Leadership Team resides in their own little world and they do not understand or accept the increasingly problematic issues with the current work environment — New processes were rolled out at the same time as resource management and a new project management tool. None of which are working well at all. — Favoritism runs deep, certain “chosen employees” can underperform and still stay employed and often even be rewarded — Overall, work is over processed and lacking in strategy

      100 percent agree on the "super cool coworkers." And, yes, a regular paycheck is a good thing! We are reading all of the comments posted here and appreciate your feedback. We also have to admit it stings. We're sorry it feels like we don't understand and you are probably right. We aren't as immersed in the new project management tool as you are and have dismissed some of the concerns as growing pains with our new ways of working. But we've been there at some point in our careers and understand it can be frustrating when it feels like senior management is out of touch. We hear you and will continue to ask for input on the priority areas we have been discussing in recent meetings. We hope we can count on you to be a part of the solution. We want to keep the super cool people we work hard to recruit.

      Pros

      Curious Plot has an incredibly talented group of people who truly care about the work and about one another. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie, especially within functional teams. Even when things get busy, people support each other and find ways to get the work done. The culture balances creativity and accountability, and the leadership encourages everyone to bring their authentic selves to the table. It’s a place where you’re challenged, supported, and surrounded by people who push you to do your best work!

      Cons

      Like any agency, the pace can be a grind at times, but that comes with the territory.

      Pros

      There are some great people that work here. In the early days of my time I appreciated the no-nonsense approach to getting the work done. It is impressive the volume of work they were able to push through for certain clients with budgets. Flexible work environment. Nicely structured performance management process. Regular opportunities for promotion.

      Cons

      The switch from a user-friendly project management software to an archaic software that matched up with their accounting system was a killer to the company culture. Suddenly, everyone was in a bad mood. When reflecting on companies of a similar size or larger, there is a considerable ratio of SVPs and higher "managing" the company. For the 100-130 headcount, I think there are at least 10 SVPs and higher, if not more. There are at least 3-4 longterm employees (6+ years) that have a well-established perception among employees of "what do they even do?"

      We agree we have great people at Curious Plot who have done impressive work for our clients over the years! As we have grown, we identified the need to improve some processes, including our project management software, to ensure we are able to manage the increased volume of work and continue to meet deadlines and exceed expectations for all our clients. We are working on adjustments in how we use the software to better fit the needs of our people. This is a high priority. Our senior leaders, unless exclusively focused on operations, all have client responsibilities in addition to responsibilities for managing people and keeping our facilities and equipment operating efficiently so the rest of us can focus on our clients. While you may not see everything we do on a daily basis to keep the agency running, rest assured we are managing the daily details required to keep the lights on for you!
