Pros

There are some great staff here, who try very hard and want stability and support

Cons

As with any company, there are ups and downs, trials and tribulations, which staff will go the extra mile to ride out if there are key management & company values that people can identify with and buy into. It is a great shame that the company now exists seemingly without any purpose whatsoever which makes for a very uncomfortable and potentially unsustainable future. Great efforts had been made by the CEO through 2018 to not only tune the business, but to give it passion, vision and a sense of excellence, and Seven was moments away from a complete and successful rebirth, however this was fatally quashed by the parent company. Any subsequent glimmers of improvement are killed quickly, it is a soul destroying existence. Seven has become a Lord of the Flies environment, without a plan, the only survivors are "boys in their middle childhood or preadolescence who pretend to blow hard into the conch but it makes no sound" If you are looking to join Seven, take great care to understand why 'you' are being interviewed? if there is any integrity through the recruitment process? What is it exactly that they want from 'you' and will they allow you to use your skill and experience? We see too many people leave within a few months because they are aghast at what they see and how badly they are treated once they join, often leaving better jobs behind them

Thanks for taking the time to post your comments. We continually monitor reviews but wanted to take on board all comments from 2019 to ensure we keep up the positive momentum so your thoughts have been really useful. As you will have been aware, the start of 2019 saw SevenC3 go through a period of change. Summer 2019 saw the end of our restructure and although the it was hard at the time it has left the agency in far greater shape for 2020 and beyond. We’ve appointed two new MD’S in place of the previous leadership team. They have transformed the agency and have won the support of employees in a short space of time. We continue to invest in training, support and wellbeing and have a clear business plan which is openly shared at our regular all staff meetings. I am sorry that you left before being able to see this positive change but thank you for sharing your feedback.

Pros

Great immediate team, fun Christmas and Summer parties

Cons

Under-qualified and much disliked CEO who unfortunately leaves such a sour taste that many including myself have cut our losses and decided to look elsewhere in order to progress with our careers, which is a shame. In all my working career I have never encountered such poisonous leadership. Aggressive, sly and contradictory - it's really frustrating and demoralising and my fear is that the business will lose talented staff and suffer as a result.

Need a fresh start

Pros

There are decent people there, who are generally kind and try to treat each other well

Cons

The company is in a bit of a mess and needs a fresh start. No real professional talent as all the good people have left. No potential for growth with the current press focus. I can’t see where this place is going. There is no energy - office is empty by 5pm and it feels like it’s dying
