Pros

Remote work... that's about it

Cons

I've worked at other pharma agencies - the culture here is just abusive. Full of bullying people, especially account (total mean girl behavior). Crazy nepotism - Someone will be reported for bullying multiple team members, and then that person will get a promotion. WOW. Don't fall for the 'love bombing' with the job offer - if you're not in the 'in crowd', then you'll be constantly undermined, and reduced to terror and stress. There's no reason for a place to be so cliquey, cruel and toxic. The people who thrive have been there most of their careers, or have senior leadership connections. There's no work-life balance. You'll work 14-16 hours a day (+weekends) and if your tired eyes make a mistake, then multiple people will say how 'disappointed' they are in you.  Upper management behaves so unprofessionally - being openly catty about very confidential info. Can't wait to leave whenever this job market turns around!

Pros

Continuing to work from home.

Cons

Can't hold on to workers, and new employees have zero experience with no training. No longer know what the companies ultimate goal is.

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us, thank you. While many of our staff choose to continue to work at home, our offices are now open and available for those who are vaccinated and comfortable to come in—we missed seeing everyone IRL! Real Chemistry is a hyper-growth company, and are investing in resources to help people fully understand our transformation. We built an in-house platform that all employees have access to from their first day at Real Chemistry, to better onboard and train our people. Your feedback will help us continue to improve and refine, thank you for sharing. - Brian Gibbons, Chief People Officer

Pros

Remote work environment $500 Amazon credit upon starting for home office set-up $500 fitness credit upon starting

Cons

Far too many to list, so just an executive summary: THE worst agency I have ever worked for. Staffing structure is bizarre. Culture is beyond toxic. It's apparent how the fear-driven, throw-you-under-the-bus, talk-behind-your-back mentality has impacted the mental health of so many young people who work here. If you show any signs of having any type of life outside of work, another account or three will be added to your plate immediately - but ask your manager about it and (s)he'll play dumb. Go down the street (or online) to any other agency and you'll make the same pay or more for putting up with far less. This place could care less if you died tomorrow other than it would possible create some actual work for senior leadership to do other than composing emails and coordinating speaking points for status meetings all day.

Thank you for sharing your experience and candid thoughts with us. This input helps us know where change is needed. We know from ongoing feedback that we need better ways to allocate and distribute work across teams. And there are several things happening to improve our model. As a healthcare company, we understand better than anyone the importance of physical and mental health. That’s why we have teams implementing no meeting Fridays, we’re reassessing our billability targets, and we provide benefits such as an EAP and our suite of Modern Health benefits to ensure everyone has the support and resources necessary to stay healthy. --Brian Gibbons, Head of People
