A major red flag for creatives.

Pros

- Plenty of opportunities to do good work. - Very flexible working hours (pro for young people, con for people with a family) - 1 week work from anywhere. - The bar is set really low.

Cons

Leadership is toxic: 1. Hiring process is a scam from a great salesman 2. Calls employees family (iykyk) 3. Pretty sure all of the 5star reviews on Glassdoor are fake, no such people exist. There is a graveyard of people who have left burnt out/unhappy/with a worse mental health state. 4. Poor management of project timelines and resourcing (they never know what they are doing 3days ahead; leaves are not respected in planning of resources) 5. Leadership celebrates people with great ideas, execution is someone else’s problem. So if you are actually good at your job, prepare for it to be your problem at 3am 6. Senior leadership openly makes homophobic comments, and a plethora of inappropriate/ unprofessional/ childish comments.

Pros

A down-to-earth local agency that reminds true to its core value of being people-first. We worked very hard and were rewarded fairly. If you think you are here to be "just another employee", look elsewhere because this place requires you to earn your keep and set goals for your career.

Cons

Management is too kind as some employees are simply not able to perform their task and this put strain on the performers. Over the course of last year, we have seen some weird, out-of-this world individuals being employed but thankfully they were not confirmed. Bitter-sweet I know, but thankfully we are so over them.

Terrible Company with FAKE Reviews

Pros

Nothing unless you're favoured by the boss. ALL 4 and 5 star ratings in Glassdoor are done by upper management using different accounts.

Cons

- Unrealistic timelines, making OT a must so you have no life balance. -No OT pay either - Clique culture, so good luck if you are not on the "inside" - Managers treat staff as replaceable unless you are their favourite. - Upper management has mood swings - There's frequent back stabbing and pushing blame to avoid responsibility
