Small Agency, Great Work, Terrible Management

Pros

The quality of the work is great and the agency utilizes industry best practices to keep you sharp and competitive as a professional. The employees are really kind, generous, and talented people, and a joy to work with.

Cons

Very poor medical and dental offerings and no 401k. Charged employees to park on a lot. Unfair treatment based on favoritism by the founder/CEO of this small agency. Extreme micro-management by the founder/CEO which added undue stress and performance anxiety. This included e-mail and conversation monitoring, being criticized in front of the entire team (embarrassing and disrespectful), and a constant need for her to control the project – so what's the point of having a project manager?

Talented Team with Disconnected Leadership

Pros

Client portfolio is good, with a mix of fun and challenging projects. The agency is staffed by brilliant, kind people at all levels. Much more collaborative than cutthroat or competitive. Engineers, designers, and other specialists are all very talented. The project/account managers are thoughtful, resourceful, and respectful of specialists and each other. All around it is a truly impressive group of people. The working environment was on the more fun, casual end of the spectrum but everyone still cared about producing quality work.

Cons

High turnover means assignments shuffle constantly and resource forecasting is non-existent, despite the best efforts of PM staff. Management shies away from investing in basic collaboration software leading to siloed communication and disjointed processes. A small number of people have a thorough understanding of the products and services, which led to extra responsibilities and unreasonably long hours. Leadership is both micromanaging and checked out. There is a disconnect between their expectations of employees and themselves. The CEO is bright but barely available and extremely unprofessional in handling of client matters. The VP is an impulsive micromanager with no understanding of the work outside of sales. There is an obvious pattern overbilling and hassling clients about scope, all while looking for shortcuts, to the detriment of everyone involved.

Pros

Good work with interesting clients and creative projects. Fun group activities occasionally.

Cons

Dishonest management with pressure applied to in-house employees to mislead clients/prospects on company size and heavy pressure on new hires to enter positive reviews here very early on. Most design/development work was outsourced by external contractors. Poor benefits offered. Any reviews listed as working here longer than six years is either the owners, not in-house or untrue.
