Pros

- Office facilities - Somewhat flexible working arrangement

Cons

It's hard to list everything that went south after the KL acquisition. In just over a year, all the best people who laid the foundations of what made the KL office great left. Not because of better opportunities, but because of the lack of accountability, derailed priorities, questionable management, and overall disappointment. What was packaged as the start of greater things through improving existing structure, turned into a complete mess of an overhaul where the priority isn't how to deliver great work to clients – but into how we can cut corners and costs. From a business and financial perspective, that's fine – but the way they do it is by having regional order the local team to sell 5 functioning cars for 1 cheaper bicycle in the name of optimization, with the bicycles having a few screws loose. It's the opposite of scaling and highly unsustainable. It's sad to see how things turned out the way they did. From the perspectives of many, the source of this lies at the top – or down south. However you want to put it.

Pros

I’ve been with NP for almost four years. I took another opportunity in this time and spent a few months ant another agency in between, and ultimately chose to come back. That decision really came down to the people, flexible work/life balance, collaborative environment, and the quality of work we deliver for clients. The team here genuinely supports one another, and there’s a strong sense of partnership across departments. It’s not just talk, you actually feel it in how everyone shows up for each other and respect each other’s individual skill sets to provide the best possible experience for clients. Working for the Neil Patel brand really comes with a big focus on producing thoughtful, high-quality results, which makes the busy schedule feel more rewarding.

Cons

Like any agency, it’s not perfect. Things move quickly, and there are the usual challenges that come with client work and balancing priorities, as well as process changes.
