Pros

- Flexible on work hours. - Great team environment and co-workers. - Staff are dedicated and want the company to succeed. They will also go out of their way to help you, no egos. - One day off per month for mental health + summer Fridays (one Friday off every 2 weeks in summer). - Unlimited PTO. Generous paternity leave. - CEO has an open door policy and is one who listens, no ego and will admit when wrong. This is extremely rare to find, especially within a smaller agency environment.

Cons

- Expect growing pains, which are typical when working in smaller agencies. - Not really a con, but be expected to deliver and hold yourself accountable. If you feel as if you can cruise by and not take responsibility for your short comings, this probably isn't the place for you. - Remote working company, so it can sometimes be challenging to have a consistent work structure. Pros probably outweigh the cons on this overall.

Pros

You learn a lot here, often things you did not even realize you needed to learn. The environment moves very fast and you are exposed to many parts of the business, which forces you to grow quickly. You also work with very smart, capable people, which raises the bar and pushes you to think differently and improve your own skills. The company is very much in an AI-first phase, so everyone is expected to understand and use AI tools in their work. If you do not have AI experience, you will likely not be considered for a role. That said, there is still a lot to learn in this space and you pick up many new skills while working here because AI is integrated into many workflows and people are constantly experimenting and improving how they use it. If you enjoy problem solving, figuring things out as you go, and working in a high pressure environment with deadlines, it can be a great place to develop professionally. The skills you build here are very transferable and you can take what you learn and apply it almost anywhere you go.

Cons

The pace is not for everyone. It is definitely not a clock in clock out type of job. If you are looking for a simple 9 to 5 where you can do the same tasks every day without thinking too hard, this probably is not the right environment. Things move quickly and expectations are very high, which can feel intense if you prefer a slower or more predictable workflow.

Pros

Flexible environment with cool perks and benefits. Onboarding was great. The internal team was great to work with and I learned a lot in my time there.

Cons

Lacks overall direction - are we trying to grow the client base? Are we trying to grow with AI? Are we growing internal tools? I never really knew and often wondered if anymore clients coming on board because I never felt safe in the position no matter what I did. There is absolutely no internal processes BESIDES onboarding. After that, it's a whirlwind of all over the place. Feedback is direct, which is good at times. Other times, just saying "Use AI" might not be the answer.
