Pros
Small boutique agency in Los Angeles
Cons
Little room for growth at the company
Pros
Inclusive, Compassionate, Fun, Quirky, Authentic.
Cons
Mostly project based, not continuous employment. (Which was very much explained ahead of time!)
Pros
Opportunities to give feedback but may fall on deaf ears. Fun team outings, but I've heard those are fewer and farther between. WFH once a week.
Cons
Working at this company is a mixed bag, and the longer you work here, the cons definitely outweigh the pros. TwoFiveSix has a lot of common problems that come with super scrappy startups with <10 people. It's shrunk by half in the last year, mostly due to the lack of new client work. The CEO serves as the face of the company and that seems to be the extent of it. He doesn’t have a CFO or anyone whose full-time job is to monitor finances. For employees, this means that your job responsibilities and expectations will change without notice or you might be tasked with things not in your job description - power drilling holes in a ceiling or taking on sudden random tasks for a client. This could be ok if the compensation was higher and employees were given more professional development opportunities. The chance of getting a raise here is non-existent because the goals are constantly moving. The CEO is rarely around or aware of what’s going on, even for a company so small. Not surprised that they have pivoted - which usually means “failed and now we have to change asap” - to a strategic consultancy.
