Toxic environment, cringey HR - Anonymous employee Moving Brands Employee Review

Amazing and intelligent people. You can learn a lot from them and they are very generous with helping each other out. Collaboration between everyone in the studio(s) are stellar. They also get a nice mix of big mega corps and upcoming startups so the work is always fresh and exciting.

The studio space in the San Francisco office can get cosy. But its nice to work closely with everyone I guess.

• Great for Interns and Young Designers: Moving Brands offers valuable opportunities for interns and young designers to work on a variety of projects, gaining diverse experience. This exposure is excellent for building a strong portfolio. • Career Growth Through Recognition: The agency is well-known in the industry, making it a notable name to have on your resume. Working here can open doors and make it easier to apply for jobs elsewhere due to the brand’s reputation.

• Shift in Company Values: There has been a noticeable change from the previous people-first culture. The agency used to focus on team support and helping individuals enhance their performance based on personal goals. Now, if employees don’t meet specific expectations, there seems to be less support, and managers may escalate issues to HR, sometimes involving unrelated concerns. This has created a perception that there is no true safe space. • Transparency Issues: Concerns about hidden discussions and non-transparent decision-making have led to trust issues among team members. • Management and Work-Life Balance: Management challenges and high workload expectations can lead to long hours and impact work-life balance. • Limited Advancement: While great for gaining experience, long-term career growth within the company may be limited.
