Pros

Great pay, prestigious clients, top-down transparency

Cons

This agency is not worth the prestige and pay. I am continually expected to work overtime and respond to emails after work hours. Completely clientcentric and no one values employees above clients. 0 culture regardless of the HR offerings, there's simply no time to enjoy them. NO training at all. It is an incredible weakness and makes it very challenging to get up to speed. Though the overall company is transparent, my division is very tight-lipped about how well we're doing and what we can improve upon. What is hardest for me is the lack of collaboration. No one unexpectedly chats or calls/videos to explain things. Everything is extremely formal and short and must be at least a 30-minute meeting later in the week. Lack of training, collaboration, and work/life balance make me very depressed during the workweek and I've been here a little less than a year.

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.
