Pros

The most valuable benefit offered is Flexible Time Off. 401K Matching is on par with other companies. Hybrid / remote work is a positive. Even though my Cons are in-depth — my coworkers were a sound collection of smart, talented, and passionate people.

Cons

Consider with extreme caution — avoid this company if you are a designer, art director, copywriter, or creative director. The client accounts are impressive and enticing (CapitalOne, Sony, UPS, Boeing, and AT&T to name a few.) Trouble is, they are all in the niche of recruitment marketing — and often tied to Radancy software offerings. So there is that level of repetition, in employment branding and recruitment marketing, that you have to be prepared for as a creative. The company prides itself on being transparent but that's their desire and not the end result. It’s actually ironic how a company whose bread and butter is recruitment marketing, employer branding, and talent acquisition is so poor with their own employee onboarding, life cycle, and advancement. There are no defined paths for advancement and the hierarchy is top heavy. No matter how many 5-star annual reviews and happy clients — Creative promotions are extremely rare. And increases (beyond cost of living) are few and far between. Particularly frustrating, is the fact that other career areas within the company have very regular and very visible promotions. In fact, this company is currently in the midst of a new and unique identity crisis. They want to change perception from an agency (where creative work is respected) to a software company (where subscription products and renewals are prioritized.) Even the new employee value proposition includes a glossary of terms to avoid like: creative, layout, or client. And words to use instead like: design, user interface, and customer. Creatives beware. Join this company at your own risk.

Pros

Great place to grow, flexible with family matters and a good work life balance. Learned a lot. Flexible time off is a good perk.

Cons

The rebrand removed a lot of personality from the company which made it hard to service legacy clients.

Pros

The people and direct coworkers were genuinely supportive and collaborative. Many employees were dealing with similar challenges, which created a strong sense of teamwork and willingness to help each other. Despite broader organizational issues, most teams worked hard and tried to support one another however they could.

Cons

Leadership doesn’t seem to have a clear direction for the company, so priorities and decisions were constantly changing. A lot of decisions would get made and then completely reversed a few months later, which made it hard to feel confident in anything long term. There were also a lot of staffing and restructuring changes without proper training or support, so people were basically expected to figure things out as they went. The company became very focused on enforcing in-office policies and making sure people were physically at their desks, while employees hadn’t received raises in years despite heavier workloads and inflation. That disconnect was really discouraging and definitely contributed to burnout. Burnout was something constantly talked about across teams, but it rarely felt like anything meaningful was done to actually support employees or improve workloads. A lot of employees were also expected to sell or support products they didn’t fully believe in, which made it hard to feel set up for success from the beginning.
