Pros

Good brand and positioning thanks to many years of client projects and marketing activities in a small and yet not so mature market.

Cons

Very poor management and leadership, total lack of transparency and care for employees, unclear and inconsistent strategy, a constantly changing organizational structure, slow growth, insufficient coordination and bad quality of delivery has made 10+ employees leave in less than a year causing a massive loss of expertise. The company has currently no international presence and its good name is treated daily by an unclear positioning and a lack of expertise compared to vertical competitors (i.e agencies, consulting companies, system integrators) now entering the social business market.

Pros

It's a nice place to work.. meaning that the office is cool and well furnished. There are few guys really passionate about their job.

Cons

The business model isn't clear: they're trying to combine the skills of an adv agency and a consultancy firm. At the end of the day they are an unstructured consultancy firm with low (in quality and quantity) execution abilities. The workload is totally inefficient, it is quite common to work during nights, without any extra. There wasn't a very clear personal development roadmap and very low career opportunities. Despite their apparently flat organizational structure, it's quite hard for employees to get listened to: top management doesn't listen to them and they aren't transparent nor clear at all about income, reward and objectives. More than 10 people (1/3rd) left during last year mainly for uneffective management and total absence of reward for employees (not just from an economical point of view: I'm talking about recognition too). Professionally speaking, it was the biggest dream I ever had. It was.
