Consider with extreme caution — avoid this company if you are a designer, art director, copywriter, or creative director. The client accounts are impressive and enticing (CapitalOne, Sony, UPS, Boeing, and AT&T to name a few.) Trouble is, they are all in the niche of recruitment marketing — and often tied to Radancy software offerings. So there is that level of repetition, in employment branding and recruitment marketing, that you have to be prepared for as a creative. The company prides itself on being transparent but that's their desire and not the end result. It’s actually ironic how a company whose bread and butter is recruitment marketing, employer branding, and talent acquisition is so poor with their own employee onboarding, life cycle, and advancement. There are no defined paths for advancement and the hierarchy is top heavy. No matter how many 5-star annual reviews and happy clients — Creative promotions are extremely rare. And increases (beyond cost of living) are few and far between. Particularly frustrating, is the fact that other career areas within the company have very regular and very visible promotions. In fact, this company is currently in the midst of a new and unique identity crisis. They want to change perception from an agency (where creative work is respected) to a software company (where subscription products and renewals are prioritized.) Even the new employee value proposition includes a glossary of terms to avoid like: creative, layout, or client. And words to use instead like: design, user interface, and customer. Creatives beware. Join this company at your own risk.
