Davis Reviews

We were very surprised and disappointed to read your review, and we’re sincerely sorry to hear about your employment experience here at Davis. Because your comments seemed so at-odds with our workplace culture, we took each of your concerns quite seriously. In fact, we immediately initiated confidential, one-on-one conversations with every employee to see if others had feelings similar to yours. We asked them specifically about the issues you raised – including our onboarding process, leadership support, team behavior, workplace culture and work-life balance – and what we heard in response was quite the opposite from your experience. We know we’re not a perfect workplace, but we do everything we can to make it one, and we'll never stop trying to improve. Our workplace culture is built on collaboration, creativity and respect, and we’re proud of it. This work and this industry are not for everyone. But our employees stay with us for an average of 5.25 years, and for many, it’s that fast pace and unrelenting creative and client-service standards that they love most about working here. We certainly have high expectations of our employees, and yes, they occasionally wear more than one hat, stay late or work after hours – not because they’re forced to, but because they want to do great advertising work and satisfy their own high professional standards. Additionally, our CEO and management team have an open-door policy. Asking questions is never discouraged here. It’s how we all grow and learn, and it's one of the most important things we tell new employees to do. We’re truly grateful for every person who has come to work at Davis, but we understand when it hasn’t been the right long-term fit. That seems to be the case here. Hopefully, you’ve found a workplace more aligned with your own standards and professional preferences, and we wish you all the best, wherever your career journey takes you.
