Pros

The culture is acceptable. Free coffee.

Cons

Employee churn rate is very high as there is a lot of office politics and favouritism present. Pay is poor and progression opportunities are limited. I would not say that Add People are an agency, they are more of a sales business - which is fine, but if you are creative and want an agency environment, avoid like the plague.

Sorry to see your review. If you are a current employee, I would recommend you speak to someone in HR so you can discuss your concerns. Our open culture helps to resolve any grievances informally, however, any formal grievances raised will be dealt with promptly by way of our grievance procedure. At Add People, we have clear role profiles and pay grading structures in place to ensure everyone is paid fairly, and regular salary bench-marking takes place to ensure we remain competitive within the digital market place. We are also an Investors In People accredited employer, working within the IIP framework, this enables our performance and growth as we adhere to best practices when it comes to managing and developing our people.

Pros

The onboarding process here is excellent. There is a very thorough, structured training plan for the first four weeks that ensures you aren't just thrown into the deep end. On top of that, the team culture is great—all employees have been incredibly welcoming both on a social side and by proactively offering help whenever it's needed. Communication from leadership is very transparent. You aren't kept in the dark about account wins, agency performance, or upcoming internal strategies, which makes you feel like a valued part of the company's wider growth plan rather than just a cog in the machine. There is also a great sense of direction within the company. Leadership has outlined very clear, transparent growth plans for the business in the future, which makes it an incredibly motivating environment to work in as you can see exactly where the company is heading and how it plans to scale.

Cons

None as of yet it has been great
