Pros

Good compensation, travel to work, team building experience (good events when planned), get to work with high profile clients.

Cons

Lack of communication between departments, even between managing partners. A lot of secrecy when it comes to business decisions, next steps for the company, and hiring completely new positions. Working environment was rather high school-like, with lots of gossip, favouritism, office politics and bullying. Lack of room for growth. It's hard to grow due to a checklist of expected responsibilities that must be met before gaining a promotion (some you don't get the opportunity/exposure to). No mentorship or leadership opportunities.

Pros

Nothing positive to report.

Cons

Tiny Canadian agency that doesn't have a clue how to conduct business in the US. Nothing to gain working for this place. CEO is arrogant and talentless.

Thanks for taking the time to voice your opinion. Glassdoor is an anonymous review site which offers a great chance for us to listen to constructive criticism or sometimes just take a few shots across the bow when things dont' work out. Whether you resigned or were terminated, I do hope you were given a chance to have your voice heard through a formal exit interview. Constructive feedback is incredibly valuable and it is a regular topic during management meetings. We make it a point to measure and monitor employee satisfaction as a basic KPI for the business. I can't say that much can be learned from your commentary beyond some falsehoods thrown from behind a veil of anonymity. If you didn't have a chance to get an exit interview, please reach out to me and I can definitely make this happen. Sorry that Starshot wasn't the right agency for you and hopefully your next gig works out. Sometimes a necessary ending can be the catalyst for growth, both personally and professionally.
