Pros

- Office encourages the entrepreneurial spirit. - A great team on the entry and medium level positions. My immediate team fed my interest in staying at the company. - Fosters a place of learning and professional development.

Cons

- Horrible work life balance with unpredictable, long working hours. This only intensified during the WFO transition during the pandemic. - I felt gaslighted numerous times by senior leadership during my time at Real Chemistry in particular over merit increases, bonuses, and time off. Vocalizing a negative experience would often leave me feeling ignored without any real steps to remedy the internal mistake. This eventually lead me to search for another position during my last three months at the company. - Notes on starting salaries are true. You will be offered an attractive starting salary, but this number will quickly seem underwhelming once you start working the ridiculously long hours. - Favoritism is SUCH a big factor in your success at Real Chemistry. Senior leadership spends a lot of time stroking their own egos, and the upper management structure never made any sense with titles that seemed to be pulled from a hat.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. While we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the entrepreneurial approach we have ingrained in our DNA, we are sorry to hear your experience with respect to career development. We recognize work/life balance has become more difficult to manage with the shift to remote working, although we have looked to recognize all the effort shown by our employees – for example, we promoted over 275 people in 2021, giving growth opportunities and pay raises accordingly. This process is reviewed by a number of internal teams to focus on performance and remove unconscious bias, as we want to encourage success for all our employees.

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
