Pros

- Amazing team of strong and talented people to work with. Everyone is always open to helping each other out and generally have the same goal of creating amazing experiences. - Interesting and unique projects from time to time. - There are company employees that really cares about the company and is working towards trying to make the changes required to help the company succeed.

Cons

About the CEO: - Takes a very self-standing approach when it comes to decision making, valuing his own opinions over the collaborative team. - No vision for the company. Instead of creating a unique identity with the company, he focuses on making decisions based on what competitors do and not using company talent to create something distinctive. - “Open door policy” and invites employees to talk to him if they ever have any questions, but all the responses are generic, political business responses rather than the truth. - Obsession with company appearance: Does everything to make the company look good but puts very little into the company culture. The existing family-oriented culture was built by the employees. - Doesn't build relationships with all his employees, leading to employees creating own collaborative work environment. About the Company: - Zero job security: Because CEO usually just gives out political business responses, there is no knowledge on how the company is actually doing so people can be let go at any time. - There are times where promises made to clients will be over the top in order to win projects, leading to unreasonable timelines and expectations from the employees.

Pros

I came to Thinkingbox by way of a merger and my talents were immediately noticed. I was able to grow my career quickly and found a place that allowed me to take advantage of my strengths and build a stronger team. We have been able to grow our business with direct brands and it's been rewarding to do so. While growth comes with its own challenges and no company is perfect my time here has created a unique learning experience and a great opportunity for me to advance my career.

Cons

Connecting with teammates across offices can be tricky and the growth mentality can make it tricky to keep priorities straight.
