Pros

It's rare to find an agency that puts effort into working on causes they believe in. Not everything we do is changing the world, but where possible we try to work on things that can have impact. Feels like a startup, anyone's idea can turn into something, and it's a close knit group. I get the sense everyone is always trying to improve, which keeps things fun and evolving. And compared to every other agency I've encountered, there is a refreshing authenticity to our work and approach. We don't claim to know everything or have all of the answers, we're always learning with our clients.

Cons

It truly is ever-evolving, so if you want strict methodology and super efficient process, you might find things difficult. But if you're a self starter you can achieve a lot. In London at least, we're still figuring out the optimal way of working, the best mix of roles and process, etc.

Pros

Amazing coworkers Decent benefits Work from home Cool clients doing huge projects

Cons

This place will suck the life out of you. After a few questionable upper management decisions, layoffs had really run this place below ground. Beforehand, though, was a clear indicator of things going downhill. Teams burnt out and stretched thin. Project managers doing their best to accommodate, despite being stretched thin themselves. Upper management not doing anything to help. There is one review I read here during my first few months that stated this place is sexy and promising on the outside but the opposite inside and now I can see why. You will be micromanaged and gaslit into thinking you are a terrible worker here. Little to no real professional advice, they literally just expect you to do 12 hours of work in 8 hours (not to mention the insane amount of unpaid overtime you’ll be doing). Steer clear of this place (at least until the figure their sh** out)
