Pros

I've been with the agency a long time now and I've seen it in its many guises. The founders have been as creative with the business model as they have with the work itself over the years - always pivoting and tweaking to improve. I see Atomic as a meritocracy - if you bring energy and ideas to the table and do good work, you'll be supported and rewarded. Having started as a junior designer, my career has evolved over the years to the point where I'm afforded a level of autonomy and ownership over my role that is truly liberating. The main reason I've stayed so long — I've been kept engaged by doing interesting and varied creative work for amazing clients, with great people, and having (mostly) fun doing it!

Cons

With that sense of constant evolution comes some of the teething pains that you would associate with organisational change. Sometimes the workload can be a bit intense but it comes in peaks and troughs and tbh the work life balance here is radically different from those early days - in a good way! And sometimes, when we're so focused on innovation and the future of the company, we can take our eye off the ball a bit when it comes to our internal comms, making things a little woolly. But half the battle is knowing what our issues are and working to improve them. Overall I think Atomic is a great place to do great work, learn loads and craft a career in the process.

Small agency with talent and vision

Pros

The agency is small yet has big aspirations. What's different to a lot of small businesses, is that there's a plan to realise those aspirations. The people are talented, but down to earth. Everyone strives to deliver great work and give a great client experience.

Cons

The focus is on autonomy and ownership. You're trusted to get on and get done. That's great for some people, but not for everyone. As with many agencies, the work can come in peaks and troughs. Things can feel really busy sometimes, but unlike the old days, you rarely have to work lots of overtime.
