M Booth Health Reviews

My time at MBH often made me question my value, not because of my performance but because of a culture built on cliques, favoritism, and silence. Despite the polished messaging and the slogan “We create careers, not jobs,” the reality was far from it. Promotions often went to those who played into a specific, unspoken mold rather than those who truly excelled. Junior and mid-level staff who didn’t fit that mold were quietly pushed out, their departures either swept under the rug or revealed only when their Slack accounts disappeared. I found out about most people leaving through silence, not transparency. The workplace is also consistently understaffed, leading to burnout and a sense that you’re constantly trying to prove your worth just to stay afloat. Meanwhile, leadership masks instability with empty messaging and impersonal all-staff emails. If you’re looking for a place that values individuality, mentorship, and genuine support, MBH may not be it. But if you’re comfortable navigating a performative culture where appearances matter more than growth, you’ll probably fit right in.

- Leadership can feel cliquey, particularly at the senior/ELT level. - While hiring is diverse, there were noticeable patterns of hiring from the same agency. - Internal, agency-wide communication could be inconsistent. Team-to-team communication was generally strong, but broader updates—especially around departures, firings, or layoffs—were not always timely or transparent. - There were moments where favoritism toward certain employees felt noticeable, though in general people still had fair chances to contribute and access opportunities. - Work-life balance can be tough at times given the pace and client demands, but that’s largely true of most agencies and not unique to this company.
