Pros
Some incredibly talented people and good client projects. Due to the staff turnover, there are opportunities to progress as positions become vacant.
Cons
River is one of the most toxic places I have ever worked. I, like many others I know, had heard the reputation of the agency before I started but decided the opportunity was still worth it. I wish looking back, I had listened more to people's first hand experience. The agency it absolutely rotten to the core and will drain any enthusiasm, motivation and confidence from you. The blame culture is disgraceful and the response to any negative feedback is that you don't work hard enough or aren't up for the challenge. It's ridiculous, people regularly work to breaking point. The board think they are addressing the 'issues' with various initiatives based on wellbeing but these have little impact on a culture that is so poisonous and led from the top.
