Run, don't walk, away from this company

Pros

Employees are great but don't get too attached. Nobody wants to stay around for too long once they understand how the company functions.

Cons

Amateur, insecure, untrustworthy, and unprofessional leadership. Complete lack of respect for employees. Taoti use their "culture" to entice prospective employees. What they fail to say is that it is a forced culture that isn't worth it. Run, don't walk, away from this company.

Pros

- all the free beer and booze you could want - people are extremely talented and you will have the opportunity to grow and learn more quickly than at many other places - great place if love working for a grownup frat boy in a frat house - COO (and only female exec) is wonderful

Cons

- don't believe you can work remotely no matter what the job description says. the in-office policy changes at the CEO's whim - turnover is insanely high with a new person leaving practically every week. they don't even announce departures anymore - pay is low compared to other agencies - people burn out fast due to other people constantly quitting and an insanely high workload - no HR at all - office is cold, loud, dark and a fire hazard - lots of inappropriate jokes especially from the CEO

Pros

- Incredibly talented people. Hiring managers really do an amazing job at finding people who are phenomenal at what they do. I was always impressed with the work our team brought to the table. - My direct manager was invested in my growth. It was refreshing and the only reason I stayed at Taoti long after I knew I needed to get out.

Cons

- I echo so many of the cons said by others - terrible agency culture because of the misogynistic and toxic CEO... inappropriate comments, belittling, loyalty to profits over literally anything else, and a fake commitment to DEI. There's been insane turnover and it is unsurprising. I'm glad I got out when I did. - They do not walk the walk when it comes to investing in their people. They may say "do a great job and you'll advance and succeed here" but as someone else said - unless you get in with leadership, they'll BS ANY excuse they can to not actually promote from within so they don't have to pay you more. - Benefits, pay, and maternity/paternity leave are laughable. *Maybe* if Taoti was a phenomenal place to work, you could look past the "doing the bare minimum because of profits" approach but there are so many other decent agencies that ACTUALLY care about their people. Stay far away from any company that doesn't have a legitimate HR department and modern family leave policies - it's not 1996 anymore. - If you do join Taoti, do not, I repeat, do not go on the boat.
