Pros
A culture of respect, kindness, and collaboration among colleagues, creating a supportive and uplifting environment where everyone's contributions are valued. The company encourages innovation and pushes boundaries, resulting in remarkable and impactful work. The satisfaction of witnessing the progress and impact of these projects makes the effort worthwhile and brings a sense of fulfilment. I feel truly valued at D&AD. From day one, they made to feel welcomed and appreciated. A culture of respect and appreciation creates a positive and motivating work environment.
Cons
At times, the workload can become quite demanding, and it is evident that everyone puts in significant effort to meet deadlines and deliver exceptional results. Striking a healthy work-life balance can be a bit challenging. However, with open communication and transparency, the team recognizes and respects each other's needs, both as a collective unit and as individuals. It requires proactive effort to maintain a healthy balance, but the supportive environment at D&AD enables teamwork and understanding to ensure everyone's well-being is considered.
