Pros

I’ve been working at Profound Strategy for the past 6 months and the experience has been excellent. Nate has built a work environment that feels highly collaborative and supportive, one I feel is conducive to helping employees grow both personally and professionally. I’m fully remote and haven’t yet met other people on the team in person, but I feel like so many of us have grown close and developed real bonds. It was evident from the day I started that this is a company that cares deeply about its employees.

Cons

Don't have anything bad to say! It's been a great experience.

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! There have to be at least some "Cons" though right?! :) We really appreciate you sharing these things!

The most streamlined place I've ever worked

Pros

--Profound Strategy has a clear production process and pretty defined roles, eliminating a lot of confusion and fires that I had previously grown accustomed to while working in in-house marketing. --Leadership cares about how you feel workload-wise (and as a person). I've been here for a little over a year and there were only 1-2 instances when I felt like I had too much on my plate. When I mentioned it to my leaders, they immediately took action to see how to make it more manageable while still meeting deadlines. --Being able to work remotely every day. --Despite being an entirely remote organization, there's pretty effective communication among team members and from leadership. Profound has clear and robust policies on communication to use people's time efficiently. --You complete a comprehensive training in Profound's processes before starting your actual job which I found refreshing compared to previous places I've worked that were more learning in the moment. --Leadership tries to be inclusive and aware of others' mindsets from a DEI perspective.

Cons

--Profound's processes for specific steps of our overarching workflow change frequently to optimize resources and boost work quality. I personally don't mind process changes, but for people who stress about them, this might be challenging. --While communication about significant topics is pretty good, some of the day-to-day communication can be difficult as a remote team. It takes a little longer to get to know peoples' communication styles and what they mean (compared to if everyone was in person where it might be a little easier). --I've experienced some workload fluctuations during my time here. There were the 1-2 times when I felt a little overwhelmed (explained above), but then there have been 1-2 slower periods, too. During those times, I expanded my SEO knowledge and education by taking some free courses and reading articles. --During the first few months after training, I found it a little challenging to report to two people (as an Editor, I report to an Account Manager and our Managing Editor). I haven't reported to two people before and sometimes we'd need to balance opinions/needs. Since then, we've all found our groove. --As an organization, we sometimes struggle to complete client campaigns on time. Profound is in the process of determining how to resolve this.

Thank you so much for your positive comments, and thoughtful "Cons" as well! Change is often needed, but like you said, too much change can be a challenge and even a point of stress. This is something we are always trying to balance so that there's not too much change at any one time, and that each change is a notable positive improvement. Thank you again for taking the time to post this review, we really appreciate it!

Pros

Small company but well organized and very people-focused. They definitely take care of their own. Employees have opportunities to grow and professional development is encouraged and supported.

Cons

As with any agency, a lot depends on the clients. Sometimes the client load can be intense, but that’s the nature of agency work and nothing particular to PS.
