Pros

Some of the people who interviewed me seemed genuine.

Cons

-TL;DR: I was abused by my boss at Kepler and then ignored by upper management despite promises of support. Seek more reputable agencies for better employment opportunities. I was abused and mistreated by Kepler (my boss specifically) and ultimately had to leave one year into the job to maintain my mental health and wellbeing, after upper management turned a blind eye to my situation. After less than two months at Kepler my boss, who was no older than 25 and had no people management experience, began compiling threatening documents against me. Throughout the next year he would assign me far more work than was possible, give me little to no instruction, and would not be reachable for help. He would then lambaste me upon seeing what I produced with confused and unfair feedback, would make threats against me, and would bad-mouth me to other coworkers. He also kept me isolated from other team members so I couldn't develop any real advocates. The company spoke at length about supporting employees and being available to help if you were having a problem and routinely made promises that they would provide ample help if needed. So I made formal meetings with upper management, used formal documentation to report what was happening to me, and followed the guidelines laid out in the employee handbook to do so. However, after speaking with upper management, who were in their 30s at the oldest, I was ultimately ignored as they were clearly far too inexperienced to be in the positions they were in and were much more interested in logging off at 5 and enjoying their personal lives than genuinely looking into my situation and helping. It was clear the leaders who had made these promises had no interest in actually keeping them and clearly had made them to pay empty lip service to employees and so they could give themselves a pat on the back during company-wide meetings and on releases on LinkedIn. Kepler acts like its the only company in town that has benefits or looks out for its employees and puts itself on a pedestal that it absolutely do not deserve. They have weekly meetings on Fridays to brag about how great they are but their actions ultimately make these words ring hollow. There are many other marketing agencies that are more established and far more reputable than Kepler and will provide a much better and more pleasant working experience, pay better, and will give you real potential for career growth. These bigger agencies have much better growth than Kepler and at least one of them is always be hiring. Do yourself a favor and wait until one of these other companies send you an offer.

Pros

Kepler has some of the best operational processes I’ve experienced in my media career. Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, which allows individuals and teams to stay focused and accountable. This structure leads to smooth handoffs, efficient collaboration, and strong QA across campaigns. The environment supports high-quality work and makes it easier to scale performance without unnecessary friction.

Cons

The structured nature of the organization may feel rigid at times for those who prefer a more flexible or less process-driven environment but for those who love it this would be considered a pro.
