Pros

The people are great, talented creatives Flexible working

Cons

Lack of transparency with what doing on within the company, creatives were often left out of the loop. Extremely high turnover — it’s a company of about 30 and nearly 20 people left in the time I worked there The CEO picks favourites and ignores everyone else It’s difficult to get them to create and execute a growth plan, and they underpay compared to market value. Workloads were often disorganised and unbalanced. Creatives would be moved around to different clients frequently so we could hardly finish a project or get to know one client. One day we’d be schedule a massive workload and nothing the next. Unreliable — they made redundancies without warning. The situation may have improved since I left but this was not a work environment I would ever wish upon anyone else. They draw people in with big shiny promises but the culture and flexibility isn’t all it’s advertised as.

Pros

Lovely team. I’m still in touch with most of my former colleagues.

Cons

The salary was so far below industry standards that I got an £18,000 pay rise moving to an identical role in another organisation. Instead of promoting based on merit or experience, you were made to dance like a monkey for the “privilege” of a better role. Bizarre CEO personality cult. No idea what that was all about, because it certainly wasn’t deserved. While I was there, she spent most of her time shouting at clients, complaining about the IRS and country-hopping around South America. I eventually resigned and nobody in senior management spoke to me during my notice period.
