People First - Account Manager On Board Experiential Employee Review

From the C-Suite to peers, OBE focuses greatly on the person behind the work. When we meet for our offsites, there is an emphasis on getting to know each other outside of our projects. From celebrating our life achievements (new babies, pets, and running milestones) to C-suite remembering everyone's names and roles to recovery days to 2 feedback sessions a year to 2 offsites for team bonding. This is my first time at an agency and I heard horror stories of the terrible work culture at agencies, but OBE has always made me feel heard and seen. My direct managers and mentors are always looking for ways to level up my skills and achieve my goals. I believe that all the folks on my team and company-wide has my best interests at heart. I feel this is a place I can flourish for many many years to come. The projects are also so kick-butt (excuse my french)! We are really working on diversifying our portfolio and I can see that everyone's interests are beginning to bleed into our work. Additionally, the caliber of everyone's work is so high. I feel like sometimes in the workplace there are folks who can't carry their weight, but since OBE prioritizes the person they are amazing at finding gems with great work ethic. All that to say they don't overwork us. People are great at finding the space to recover and reset and upper management encourages to keep our lifestyles balanced. I am so proud to be a part of the OBE team and am extremely optimistic about my future here.
