Not Your Traditional Agency but its heading in that direction - Director Monks Employee Review

The company has really changed since "Merging with Media Monk" but it's more of Jam 3 becoming Media Monks instead of them integrating together. In this process, Jam 3 is changing its culture and how it works. There is more pressure now to deliver work faster and more of a focus on billable which is slowly removing what Jam 3 was known for its Creativity which is changing. You can expect to work longer hours especially if you are non-management. They are losing or changing how transparent the organization used to be, they now don't give the full picture of how the organization is doing. For example, they laid off a bunch of people in Sept '22 but employees weren't notified or told how big of an impact it was. Reports lost managers not knowing, Managers lost reports without knowing. Lay off's were more mandated by the Media Monks or suspected. When I joined, I used to hear about how rarely they let people go etc. Lack of diversity in senior management. Salary is about 30% - 40% less than the industry standards, leaving will automatically earn you at least a 20% bump rarely will Jam 3 be able to match. I think they would be in better financial health if they reviewed how they billed clients because they do leave money on the table with their clients. No More Remote work, they have removed that for all Meta workers and will reduce it for non-Meta workers as well. This will improve productivity and of course billables. Or Remote work for selected workers (if you're considered talented). People can be clicky in some departments.
