Pros
Coworkers - Megaphone hires great people. Hard workers and genuinely lovely people. As with any agency experience, it is a learning opportunity.
Cons
No amount of parties or social events could outweigh the insane workload, nor the below standard pay. It is expected that you do whatever you need to do to manage the unsustainable workload. Skip your lunch break? Sure. Stay late every day? Go for it. Have a panic attack? Why not! Management has turned quite toxic. Favouritism is blatant. Hiring and promotions are often acts of nepotism. There are no opportunities to innovate and push for new ideas when you're drowning in your client workload. Hiring is always playing catch up. Promises of "your workload will ease up soon", but it never does. They talk the talk but fail to walk the walk when it comes to leadership and culture. Those in leadership roles lead with intimidation and fear rather than building real, supportive relationships. 'Mentors' are more like hawk eyes. It often feels as though they are watching and waiting to see you fail, rather than encouraging you to succeed. For a company that preaches 'solutions, not problems' they sure do approach struggling members of the team as 'problems' with no 'solutions'. The bullying culture is on the rise, and people are obviously being targeted. Clients are not vetted for suitability. The company takes on every client possible, even if it is an impossible task to make it work (shocking business models/products/owners). And when it doesn't work? It is the fault of the account manager, not the salesperson who signed them.
