A great agency - Account Manager Rostrum Employee Review

I had the privilege of being at rostrum for 7 years and loved my time there. Quick growth and promotion if you’re willing to set your expectations early. Monthly, quarterly and annual reviews which means you have a clear view for how you’re doing and how close you are to promotion Good clients Flexible working with no set amount of days in the office Unlimited holiday for long standing team members and days off for work anniversary, birthday and time between Xmas and new year Generous maternity leave Honest and nice team with no office politics which is a common issue in PR agencies Leadership who genuinely care about you as a person and celebrates your personal goals

Less support with growth once you’re a senior team member Lack of mandatory office time can mean junior members feel less supported Long hours at times Need more transparency on pay brackets for roles

- Work from anywhere - This agency is a good proving ground to manage clients and keep up with the intensity. Having worked in multinationals, good new starters develop much faster in an environment like this. - There are many examples of meritocratic progression at Rostrum. - If you need help or want to raise something, HR is approachable.

- Vertical structure perpetuates this feeling of much greater distance to the top than actually is, and not all managers would want to change this... - Staff turnover was over 50% in my year-long spell. - Sometimes if a client isn't satisfied, accounts are seized on by management, and heavily involved junior team members cannot support. - Leadership doesn't project a shared mission or goal, leaving individual progression to be the focus for most people, which creates awkwardness.
