Pros

Most of the people there are great, knowledgable and friendly. The pay is good The company is hybrid remote and does hire people as fully remote.

Cons

Management aren't always very clear and can often make decisions that affect the staff and not tell them No respect for the work life balance of the teams, people will be expected to work late nights or weekends often times just because someone made a promise to a client that they should not have. They talk a big game about bonuses and profit sharing but whatever number they quote you in the interview is a gross exaggeration. The real number will be about 1/4 or 1/5 that if they decide to give it to you, they don't reveal their target numbers, how close they are to them, and its discretionary so even if they meet the targets they can, and have, just decide not to give bonuses or to not give them to specifc people. If you are not a native english speaker do not apply, the hiring team have rejected good applicants soley on the basis they didn't like the fact they spoke with an accent.

We agree that our team is great, knowledgeable and friendly. We would add that most of them love working here because of the flexibility they get with the hybrid schedule, open PTO, wellness incentives and more. Like in most businesses, some team members occasionally will work in the evening or on weekends to meet critical deadlines. We are extremely transparent about numbers at Curious Jane. Most of our team members are thrilled to get a bonus, however, and profit sharing is not a given at any company. We are proud to share our success with the whole team. Most importantly, we have never discriminated against a non-native English speaker or anyone else for that matter. We have several team members who learned English as a second language. We love them, and they love working here.

Hello! I think you have posted a review to the wrong company page. This is Curious Jane, an advertising agency based in Florida. My guess is you are referring to Curious Jane, a summer camp for girls in New York.
