Pros

Company is very focused on the talents and bringing even the most crazy ideas to live. Always a pleasant atmosphere within the team, could not get more support even if I wanted

Cons

Company is in between normal agency type and corporate so sometimes it is hard to adapt or integrate the processes

Pros

If you're lucky you will get a project that looks good on your CV

Cons

- Massively underpaid. Way below the market range and any acceptable bar. No substantial pay increases for years. Annual "increase" is way below inflation rates - No framework/ KPIs for measuring individual performance. It's only peer feedback, which is not even taken into account in the year-end. - If you're a white straight male who has got friends amongst the leadership you'll get a promotion. Otherwise, if you're not in this demographic then keep on grinding to only find yourself stuck at the same spot or laid off - No stable processes. Changes in systems and processes happening every few months causing inefficiencies and downward shifts in moral - Changes in leadership happened a few times in the past 2 years. - Hierarchies not clear. Reporting structures random. Org. chart not transparent - Frequent burnouts - Understaffed, High workload, long hours with no compensation
