Pros

I met some of my best friends working at Thesis. The people on the ground for the most part are incredibly talented and collaborative.

Cons

Thesis is a company that touts itself as a progressive agency that cares about its people, but in reality it's an immature, performative agency managed by an insecure and inexperienced leadership team. The agency has made some admirable efforts to hire more BIPOC in their workforce, but their leadership team largely does not represent that population. In fact, many of the folks on the senior leadership team who were elevated were close friends with the CEO. I worked for this company for many years and even after years of stellar performance reviews and nearly universal praise for my contributions, I was never given the opportunity to move up. Meanwhile, "yes men" and those closest to the senior leadership clique were given raises and promotions very quickly. It wasn't until I finally put in my notice that the conversation of "how can we keep you here" came up." I was told when I was hired years ago that "you won't be blown away by the paycheck" and, boy, was that true. I've heard some pretty atrocious stories about what colleagues of mine were making and many who have left have been pleasantly surprised with what people in comparable roles can actually make. Leadership was always extremely hesitant to give raises and leveraged a lot of gaslighting to make you feel like you were out of line for even asking.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While it is unfortunate to hear of your experience, we are glad you could make lasting friendships at Thesis and observe our ongoing efforts to diversify our Staff. To that end, we are excited to pay rent for a privately funded office space that gives our Staff a place to gather and build upon the same sense of community that many come to Thesis to experience. We will also continue advising with our outside compensation consultancy to update our transparent pay bands, thus, prioritizing our people and their needs as we strive to show up as one of the better agencies in town. Thank you again for the criticism we can take forward. All our best, — Sara Cocco, COO

Pros

Thesis has been an incredible place for me to grow professionally. I've had the opportunity to learn, take on meaningful work, and be supported by some of the most talented and thoughtful people I've worked with. What stands out most to me, though, is the personal care and humanity I experienced during a very difficult period in my life. Both my manager and the CEO went far beyond what I would ever expect from an employer, offering compassion, flexibility, and support that allowed me to take care of myself and my family when I needed it most. I will always be deeply grateful for that.

Cons

Like any organization, there’s always room for growth and improvement. But I’m 100% committed because I believe in the leadership, the people, and the direction we’re heading. There’s a real sense of care and purpose here, and I’m proud to be part of it.

Pros

The people doing the day-to-day work are the company’s greatest strength and the primary reason many employees continue showing up each day. Teams are filled with talented, hardworking individuals who consistently deliver despite significant organizational challenges.

Cons

Leadership feels increasingly disconnected from the realities of delivery and employee experience, with an overwhelming focus on revenue and margins above all else. At the same time, leadership frequently overcommits to client demands and approves work at unsustainable or negative margins, only to later criticize teams for failing to meet financial targets created by those decisions. Employees are often treated more like interchangeable resources than long-term contributors, resulting in exceptionally high turnover and a constant revolving door of talent. Any meaningful, innovative, or strategically important work is routinely handed to external contractors rather than internal teams. These efforts are often executed in isolation, with little intentional knowledge sharing or investment in growing the capabilities of permanent employees. This creates frustration, limits career growth, and reinforces the perception that internal staff are not trusted with the company’s most important opportunities.
