Pros

• exposure to creative work / thinking • this is the place for you if you’d like to have your bar for a workplace lowered so much that any other workplace you encounter after blkj looks like paradise (even if they just offer u basic respect + common decency)

Cons

• no proper growth structure / training. kinda was just expected to do what i was told and perform even with little to no guidance • messy internal structure / resourcing • creatives (only referring to the ones i worked with) were undisciplined, unprofessional and uncollaborative. join blkj as a suit if you enjoy being a personal assistant (read: slave) to the creatives. during my time here, creatives showing up late to client meetings / not even showing up for internal meetings without giving a heads up and unreasonable requests were commonplace • company that does not respect your time (both during and outside of work) • depending on your portfolio, might end up doing churn work disclaimer: these are my experiences and i worked with a lean team. others might have completely different experiences

Pros

Working with some award hungry creatives (local / regional, never hit the bright lights). If you like scam work, “family” environment and believe work is life, this is the place for you.

Cons

Ever wonder why none of the “leaders” ever crossed into industry?

Pros

The free coffee and loads of natural light in the office

Cons

Messy structure and no room for growth. You'll be setup to fail and one year later you'll be gaslit into feeling that you're the problem all along. If you're in the creative department, good luck. You'll need heaps of it. Forget about any form of creative direction, guidance, mentoring. You'll just end up executing some average idea of a certain senior creative and be used for it again and again and again. Prepare yourself for talks around how you're not up to the 'level' yet whereas the truth is, you'll never be given the ladder to get there in the first place. If you've read the other reviews of this place, you'll be smart enough to know to avoid it. This place is for a very specific type of a worker. Someone who doesn't upset the status quo, ok with being unambitious and just going with what's told. The culture is toxic, some people are nasty and form their cliques and do mean things to the ones outside of it, and the management is downright dishonest and exploitative.
