Pros

Coworkers were really wonderful and inclusive

Cons

Mayk Ideas was the worst place I’ve ever worked, and by a considerable margin at that. Coworkers are amazing, but management is astonishingly disorganized and disrespectful. By disrespectful I mean the whole package: no respect for the work you produce, the career goals you may be aiming to achieve, and especially, especially your time. You want a work-life balance while taking a role at Mayk? Fuhgeddaboudit. Not only that, but management will attempt to justify their poor treatment of you by citing “how the industry is” or “exacting standards” (as seen in one of their responses below). If you value your mental health, stay away.

Pros

Middle management and entry level employees are strongly attempting to grow and teach while simultaneously keeping the work load manageable. Plenty of opportunities to grow so long as you are “liked”.

Cons

Big brother culture, lack of appropriate training, massive delays in receiving equipment (huge considering it’s a remote office), no strategy team creating multiple hats to be worn at all times between PM, creatives and client teams resulting in long work hours with strict restrictions to do things in only one way. Creatively stifling, no benefits and contractually obligated 10+ hour days with daily meetings and forced cameras on,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. We strive to provide a positive and supportive workplace culture and take the input that current and former employees provide seriously - so thank you. We are sorry to hear that you disliked your role and found it challenging to work in such a fast-paced environment. We understand that this may not be for all but your initial enthusiasm led us to believe that you would appreciate the training, learning and contributions needed in a hybrid work environment. We hoped that the discussions had throughout your time with us helped you to understand the missions and objectives of your position. Beginning in a new role with an organization in a time of rapid growth can be challenging, particularly in a hybrid and remote work environment. Keeping in mind these realities, the Company’s approach is intended to meet or exceed client, industry and legislative standards, whether that is allocating dedicated time for an extended Onboarding program, establishing standard team meeting times that allow for engagement, idea-sharing and posing questions, building relationships; and supporting team members as they work to create while maintaining a healthy work-life balance through paid vacation, sick days and other company initiatives. While our process to create, and perhaps our expectations to attend work in a relatively structured manner, did not align with your requirements, we do hope that during your tenure, you were able to gain knowledge and skills that build on your professional talents. Thank you again and best wishes on your future pursuits. Please contact us if you would like to provide further feedback and suggestions - my door and that of your former manager and colleagues is always open.
