Dear Conflict of Interest, We have been very fortunate to maintain a core staff that has been with the team since day one. We also are very fortunate to have contributors to our business and team that have been family to Gravity from before its inception. Sometimes there are folks that are not happy here but we always strive to make it an environment that is welcoming and offers steps to success. HR works very hard to ensure that our team has all the benefits they need to be successful but most of all HR places the happiness of the Gravity family first and is always looking for activities that help our diverse team feel like a little bit of home is with them. Whether it be to celebrate Diwali, Bastille Day, Nowruz Festival, Holi, Chinese New Year or yes even Russian New Year HR makes sure we celebrate the wonderful traditions our entire team brings to the table.

No Culture, All About making money, Harsh Eastern European Mgmt

Pros

The staff is made up of some very nice people. The offices are very nice.

Cons

This place is mismanaged. They want to be a modern young NYC company but they can not get out of their own way. There are many cons here: This trip people have mentioned, they want you to sit indoors all day and barely get any free time. The owners are very cold and stern Eastern European people, who do not really understand how to manage a staff in a modern media way. The HR dept is a joke, doesn't bode well when one of the owners is HR - seems they had to find something for her to do. You will be barked at with orders, you will be told its a casual office by HR then the CEO will tell everyone he wants you to dress up. Also you probably will not get your benefits on time, seems using the excuse that the insurance company messed up, is a common excuse. Also more then a few times HR forgot to pay the staff.

Dear No Culture ... Unfortunately, we can’t make all the people happy all of the time, but we do work hard to make most happy. Sorry you feel this way, and if it is so bad we only wish you would come to us so that we have an opportunity to fix something if we can. Yes, our trip is a corporate planning trip in the Caribbean, and yes that does mean we spend two half days out of five in planning meetings which also includes outdoor team building. It is regretful that you don’t enjoy the afternoon pool and beach parties, nor the Saturday outing and beach time the rest of the team did. If there is a reason, we would love to know why…

Revenue-driven agency. Lack of work ethnic.

Pros

1. Smart and dedicated team. Friendly and open company vibe. 2. Diverse culture. People are from all over the world. 3. If you are junior, you will have a lot of chances to learn and explore as the team is small. 4. Annual company retreat to Caribbean. 5. Few Senior Managers are great leaders and lead by example.

Cons

1. Long hours, low pay and poor benefit package. 2. Revenue-driven, not creative or quality-driven. Everything people think, talk and act is about revenue, revenue and revenue!! 3. Lack of work ethic. 4. Poor management team, particularly the partners. Only few are fully involved in the business, others are just distractions. 5. Extremely poor HR (there is a very detailed review on HR on 3/17/2015) 6. Very few holidays (only new year, Memorial Day, july 4th, labor day, thanksgiving and x'mas. No summer Friday's)
