Kepler Group Optimization & Innovation reviews

- Difficulty maintaining work/life balance sometimes due to high request volume from clients - High stress during busy times and urgent requests

Extremely steep learning curve to learning their internal tech. Constant shuffling of the accounts you work on create a sense of "why bother to learn if I'll be on a different account in 2 months". Unacceptable amount of tribal knowledge on accounts. Majority of the account learning you do will be a treasure hunt (gleaning old decks, talking to x person who tells you to talk to y person), although their 101/201/grad school trainings are relatively good to learn the industry basics. Just about every problem is approached with a "create a google doc and have a meeting" solution. No cohesive/standardized process across accounts makes things feel up in the air at all times. Side projects are a mess because some teams/employees are overworked, yet still tasked with them. Majority of type A people at the company results in an emphasis on the most vocal being rewarded. Just like the pros, you have to be honest with yourself about how interested you are in digital media to succeed here. You will be tasked with learning multiple channels, partners, platforms, ad ops, etc. which can be intense. You'll be asked to push their partners agendas (if you question the partner kool-aid, it falls on deaf ears internally). You'll be asked to speak in front of clients (regardless of title) and in front of the agency. Some candidates love that, some don't.
