Pros

If you are looking for a place to work that has one of the most creative people, this the perfect place. Creativity and innovation is what LFL thrives one and their work proves itself.

Cons

- Culture at Left Field Labs is going downhill, majority of it is due to Leadership team. - Everyone is overworked and under appreciated

Pros

Remote-first attitude. Unlimited PTO. Interesting and creative projects and clients. People tend to be really nice, helpful, and collaborative. If you are part of the Production team, people tend to get raises and promotions relatively more frequently or at higher rates than those on other teams. Production and Client Partnerships seem to have more favorable relationships with Leadership. Production even manages recruiting for the entire company, but that may change with the new HR Director that was recently hired.

Cons

- Get prepared for long hours, working overtime from accommodating frequent client changes and tight deadlines. - Managers are so bogged down making it difficult for them to connect with their team. - Processes and project planning seem to deprioritize input from Creative and Technology. - Leadership is open to feedback, but will downplay addressing any concerns relating to internal politics that negatively impact teams.

Pros

Big, impressive clients, and lots of really nice people.

Cons

Pay is less than industry standards, and the company culture is really slipping. Leadership is well intentioned but completely disconnected. Three times in the last quarter they've done layoffs without explanation or notice, and only given the people let go 2 weeks of severance pay (despite working at LFL for years). Then, they're surprised at when the employees left behind are unhappy and unable to get their work done, despite being in constant fear for their jobs and having no support. There's a Grand Canyon sized disconnect between what the leadership teams says, and what they do. If you're looking to get your foot in the door and get some agency experience, this is the place for you. But make plans to get out on your own, because it gets back quickly.
