How are the career development opportunities at Jellyfish?

My immediate team was incredible, supportive, and kind.

No growth opportunities, repeated layoffs, maddening internal politics, no promotions or pay increases for two years (unless you were friends with senior leadership!)

Remote work and home office allowance (although some offices/teams have to go in to their local office apparently), as well as the same benefits you pretty much get with any full-time agency job: steady pay, healthcare and basic PTO.

The company is in constant disarray, and leadership’s priorities are unclear. In town halls, they ask for loyalty and commitment while dodging real answers about layoffs, promotions, and career growth. After multiple rounds of restructuring, morale has taken a hit, and job security feels unstable. For creatives, this is not a great place to build a career. There’s limited high-level creative work, and many senior staff members spend their time on entry-level production tasks. Workloads swing between long stretches of inactivity and last-minute rush jobs with unrealistic turnaround times. Leadership has no clear creative pipeline and often invests in proprietary tools that add confusion rather than efficiency. Despite positioning itself as a creative agency, it operates more like a tech-marketing firm where creatives are often an afterthought. Career growth is unclear, and meaningful work often depends on navigating office politics rather than skill or experience. Bottom line: This company may work for those seeking short-term employment, but creatives looking for long-term career growth, stability, and high-quality work may be better off elsewhere.

Flexible hours, access to upskilling and training, Work with the best in class expert practitioners, work with great partners such as Google, majority female employees and many young parents. Great vibe with many like minded individuals and lots of room for career growth.

As in the rest of this economy , bonuses are no longer a guarantee unless targets are met. However the management is very supportive of growth and this is clearly a priority for them.

Great people, non-toxic management and atmosphere, flexibility, wlb, clear career path

Frequent layoffs, no growth, focused on processes rather than delivery quality, the time documentation process is frustrating

good management and growth opportunities

You need to OT sometimes

Lovely and super talented people, great offices

Very few pay rises and promotions

- Flexible working hours - Working from home is still an option (for now) - Friendly co-workers - Nice offices

- Poor management, resulting in misalignment, confusion, and disjointed operations - Lack of inspiring leadership, with a pervasive lack of enthusiasm and a focus on individual tasks over teamwork - Lack of accountability throughout the business - Poor communication at team levels, with information not being shared - Misleadingly eliminated direct line managers, leading to unclear career guidance and selective task assignment - No career prospects, with a flawed promotion system that hinders career growth and contributes to low morale - Low morale due to no career prospects and continued redundancies with fears of more job cuts as Jellyfish integrates AI into products and recruits heavily from South Africa and Mexico to reduce human resource overheads - Benefits reduced over time - Volunteers asked to become mentors rather than handpicked, proven, and exemplary individuals - Lack of transparency around pay, especially regarding promotion increases, which are determined on an individual basis. This secrecy undermines trust and transparency - Has become to corporate, it feels like shareholders are in control

Great people great office locations and decent workload

Messy strategic direction and no alignment in direction. No career progression or bonus

Very valuable people across the globe.

Bad management Terrible HR Terrible career opportunities
