Pros
Hawke offers perks like unlimited PTO, dogs in office, free massages, etc. Most of the perks ring true except for unlimited PTO and working remotely. You will be judged and penalized for requesting time off past one week every six months. Most employees laugh it off and do it anyway. Depending on your manger, you might only get a slap on the wrist so it's a considered a pro. Hawke also gives you the autonomy to make your own decisions. Most of the managers don’t know what they’re doing or simply too busy so you’ll be able to make all of your own decisions even if you are fresh out of college. Many clients don’t realize this, which is unethical since everyone is considered an “expert”.
Cons
Hawke Media is not the place to help position you for promotion or career advancement unless you are straight out of college with only up to go. There will not be a bunch of opportunities to learn or improve your skills but you will most likely be thrown in the deep end by either your manager or client forcing you to do things out of your skill set. You will get in trouble if you fail. Many have learned this way and most of the managers brag about this method working to improve skill. Hawke doesn’t balance time spent in meetings with focused work so many of the managers and staff are too busy to properly address key issues both internally and client-facing. A lot of staff and clients are unhappy working with Hawke. You can easily have 10 meetings per week since every client is promised a weekly call and most people have at least 10 clients each. This method forces people to work overtime every weekend and not have enough time to focus on actual work. People get promoted all the time, especially if they were a part of the “OG 15”. The issue here is that the place is now ran by a bunch of leaders without experience, who have only worked at Hawke and don’t understand how to bring results through digital marketing so the clients usually leave.
