Pros

I was hired at Woden right out of college, and feel it has given me immeasurable amounts of experience that I otherwise would not have gotten at a larger company or agency. Leadership has invested a lot of time into my personal growth and development as I've navigated my first job out of school. Because Woden is a smaller company, you have to opportunity to contribute to other aspects of the business outside of your immediate role. If you want to help with marketing, you can join the marketing team, if you enjoy strategy, you can join that meeting as well. Woden is also industry agnostic so you get to work with clients in a variety of industries. Unlimited paid time off and an office dog is pretty cool too...

Cons

As new team members are hired, project switching is something that happens and can feel overwhelming to get caught up to speed on a client you weren't on from the beginning. High standards and expectations are tough to meet at times and you may be called out in a public setting for it. Not necessarily a con for me, but this job is barely hybrid, yet advertised as so. There is an expectation that you are in office pretty much every day. In-person collaboration is preferred as much as possible. Sometimes you're expected to work outside of typical 9-5 hours.

Pros

The growth here is unlike anything I've experienced before. You can feel yourself improving week over week. Feedback is consistent, thoughtful, and genuinely comes from a place of care rather than criticism. The culture is a real standout: my coworkers are talented, collaborative, and everyone is genuinely aligned around the same goal.

Cons

The pace is fast and the bar is high. Which is honestly one of the things I love most about it. If you come in ready to work hard, you'll thrive.

Pros

None. They have an abusive founder, low pay, and impossible workloads for a mediocre product. Staff turnover is tremendous - almost no one lasts a year. Then they hire new college grads. It's a factory.

Cons

Everything here is a con.

We appreciate your feedback. And you're right: this does accurately reflect our past hiring processes. We're happy to report Woden hasn't had any turnover in a year (since this posting in August 2025) and have invested in major updates to our processes, employee persona, and our company's cultural structures and systems. For example, we haven't hired new college grads since 2023. These changes, I hope, can be seen in both our current team and the transformation we're creating for our clients. Again, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry you had a negative experience.
