Pros

-nice people -lots of learning and growing on your own -relaxed environment -young employees -interaction with all levels of managment

Cons

-Frequent sexist remarks coupled with Inappropriate office conversations and jokes, minimal gender diversity -minimal planning & adherence to deadlines, constant last-minute rushing -few opportunities for advancement -minimal experience managing design and marketing projects, no senior marketing, and no solid or consistent design process -difficulty getting a straight answer & information for projects -with half the company located overseas the time difference & language barrier creates a communication disconnect -HR industry company with No HR department -office can get very loud with people on sales calls, talking, and playing music -telecommuting & flexible hours are promised, but then frowned upon when implemented -7 year old company that constantly uses "we are a start up" as an excuse for screw-ups, lack of long-term planning, and the constant last-minute rush assignments Not a company for people who want structure, guidance, any sort of process, deadlines, a diverse work environment, or a career in graphic design/marketing. I'd have days with literally nothing to do, and days where they suddenly out-of-the-blue wanted 30 hours worth of design work done in 8.

Pros

Phenom offers exceptional flexibility with unlimited PTO and minimal micromanagement. The benefits are top-tier, and the free food in the office is a great perk. Overall, it’s a very employee-friendly environment that values autonomy.

Cons

There is a significant lack of direction within the CV team, with constantly shifting priorities and inconsistent delivery cycles. Methods and tools change frequently, and data collection is manual and inconsistent, frustrating both clients and employees. Furthermore, there is a lack of knowledge sharing between teams, which exacerbates inefficiencies. Leadership also lacks a clear vision for the department’s future, and there is no intuitive framework to streamline processes or deliver value more efficiently, creating ongoing friction for the team.
