CEO is nuts. And cheap. - Anonymous employee Sterling Communications Employee Review

- There is no wall between you and executive team; everyone contributes equally and pulls their weight - Company only takes on clients with a positive social impact, so the work is fulfilling - "Life-friendly" - everyone has kids, dogs, hobbies outside of work and is not expected to be chained to their desks 24/7 as long as work gets done - Lots of flexibility and opportunity for learning new skillsets, expanding in your career, and upward mobility within the company

-Team may be smaller than what one may be used to, coming from other agencies. But the crunch is nothing beyond typical for someone in our field -Not a con, more a warning: it takes some time to fully plug in and start reaping the full benefits of a company like Sterling, so this is not the kind of place to treat like a pit stop in your career. It would not be worth it to work here for less than a year.

Sterling's head of content is extremely knowledgable, experienced, and an asset to the company.

- The culture is not what they try so hard to portray in the interview process. Know that the interview process is the best you will ever be treated at this company. They pull out all the stops for interviewing/onboarding when the actual day to day experience at the company couldn't be more different. - Toxic, hypocritical environment with lots of turnover and excessive micromanaging. - Employees are treated, compensated, and promoted inconsistently, most of the time based on how close you are with the CEO and head of HR. Employees are encouraged to work on their relationship with the CEO if they want a promotion, it's not based on merit. - Big brother mentality rucks amuck here. They review your Slack messages, keep track of your ins/outs, hold it against you if you leave at 5pm or work from home, etc. - Firing of employees seems to happen inconsistently, and without a rhyme or reason. Some people are given passes for years upon years after egregious behavior, and others are let go after months over minor offenses. - Seems like they will take any and every client...no big names, and lack of interesting projects. - Politics are often discussed openly in the office, and leadership assumes everyone has the same views.
