Cons
I need to write this review because I wish I could have been warned before wasting my time. This is by far the worst place I have ever worked, it was a toxic environment that engendered low employee morale. The CEO is blatantly rude, domineering, and often berated staff about their work. I was absolutely appalled with the management style. So many of the staff had obviously lost a tremendous amount of confidence while working there as a result. The CEO was an extreme micromanager with no ability to trust employees, or allow senior staff to work autonomously, and would often favour and compare staff to each other to further undermine their confidence. The company culture was below average, and discouraged friendly collaboration amongst co workers, many of my colleagues rarely felt they could have a say without being shut down or heavily criticised. There were no Friday drinks, or even slight attempts to improve the culture, everything seemed as if it was just meant for show. Each team was overworked on jobs that weren't even being paid for by the client, meetings were constant and reworking of some documents was so inefficient and unnecessary on numerous occasions. Nothing could be sent without the CEO seeing it meaning deadlines were always missed, staff were working until the 11th hour, including weekends, and clients were unhappy. The agency classifies themselves as a digital agency, they're not, they're media and PR with a bit of social media advertising chucked in there. I've honestly never been so miserable in a workplace or job in my life and it shocked me. There is nothing down to earth, friendly or intellectually stimulating about the work environment, you'll have no opportunity to work with big ideas or be innovative, meaning learning skills that you can apply in your career is limited unless you wish to pursue PR. Every campaign is just about influencers and beauty shoots, there's no ground breaking marketing happening here. On a final note, it was proof of how miserable staff were when an entire team quit within a week of each other and the client stopped working with the company as a result.
