Great People, Very Little Support From Leadership

Pros

Faction has truly remarkable people and a fantastic culture. It's one of the most creative, hard-working, funny, intelligent group of people I've ever worked with. Group lunches are pretty much a weekly occurrence on Fridays, and the agency tries to organize full-company events for people every few months. You will always feel like you have friends here, and they're definitely a weird bunch of people (in the best way possible). They also always produce fantastic work. You can count on your coworkers here to set the bar very high and hold everyone accountable. It's what makes us all feel proud of the work we do at the end of the day.

Cons

Faction is a great place to be until you want to advance in your career. Directors have no budgets for training opportunities, so don't expect to go on any learning trips or conferences. Promotions are an even less attainable concept. The mentality seems to be that those things don't matter, or that they're likely to make you more valuable to other companies (which is a completely broken way to think about management).

Pros

Sharp minds work at Faction and the success the organization has come from the core of the agency and the commitment we have to each other. I am proud to call many people at the agency my friend. We work hard and play even harder. It is a fun place with fun people.

Cons

There is not a clear vision at the company. The agency consistently misses goals that are not based in reality. Each year my coworkers dread the review process that is a fair amount of work with very little in raises or compensation. I don't often see internal promotions and bonuses do not really exist. The constant cash flows rumors are nerve racking.
