Pros

good pay, smart people, high profile clients

Cons

the work life balance was off. leadership does not set a good example and has high expectations for people to work beyond typical hours regularly, work while sick, and have a constantly full calendar. great for people who like high stress, fast-paced agency life, but not for most.

Pros

The pay is good, if you don’t live in the CA area. You’re connected to Code & Theory and the Stagwell network which has a lot of clout. Benefits are okay, though could be improved (ex: only 6 weeks mat leave)

Cons

Most people are overworked and under appreciated. Every minute/hour is tracked and you’re expected to fill 8-10 hours per day every day. PTO is supposedly unlimited but was frowned upon when you used it. If you’re sick, you’re still expected to work. Most clients are not very pleasant to work with. Worst of all, it was very clear that leadership valued revenue and profit over ALL else. Employees don’t seem valued in the way they are treated (just in how they’re paid). Code & Theory, the parent company, had all these great benefits like Summer Fridays and full Xmas holidays off. Meanwhile, we didn’t get any of that at Rhythm.
