Pros
The ONLY good thing that came out of my time at Swirl were the friends made. Logical if you spend 60+ hours weekly with people you are bound to create a strong friendship. The perks were OK but even those seemed forced unto the masses and made you not want to participate.
Cons
The biggest con is the management team, from CEO down to department leaders. They live in their own bubble: the 1% Old White Man bubble.The ideas produced by this team are recycled and unimaginative, they have absolutely no clue as to how to run an organization. A CCO who has never produced a single piece of creative in his life - yup, that makes sense. The MVP that only gained the title from jumping from agency to agency and never learned how to set up a proper process and why the team doesn't know how to properly bill a client - also makes sense. ECD with no back bone to stand up to incompetent CCO - yes, you can find that here. Management does not know how to build a proper process for the agency, which is why potential buyers have walked away from every opportunity - they know what to to look for and aren't blinded by the facade created.
