Pros

I’ve worked in many different award winning agencies for 19 years and Cyber-Duck is hands down the best award winning agency I have ever worked for. The projects that I worked on are by far the best I’ve ever worked on. Cyber-Duck has the best developers I’ve ever worked with and the team collaboration is of the best professional standard I’ve ever seen. The management team really know how to keep the projects on a manageable level for developers. The technical director really supports the developers. Any issues that arises while I was working there was solved instantly. The technical direct has an ability about him to bring the best out in developers and makes working at Cyber-Duck a magical place the work. The CEO is not only an amazing CEO but he is also a very understanding kind compassionate person who always puts his staff first. He is constantly arranging staff fun days (hunting around central London, trips for developers to other countries to visit conventions, random fun days out etc). He is down to earth unlike most other CEOs I’ve worked with. You get free lunch on Fridays which is healthy (if you choose it to be) The company has such an understanding for your own personal situations and will do the very best they can to help balance work and your personal life. Everyone always has a smile on their face, it’s such a happy environment to work in. It’s a shame I had to leave :( I would recommend working here in a heart beat.

Cons

I worked remote on Fridays so I couldn’t eat the free lunch on Fridays

Pros

After many years and counting, Cyber-Duck has repeatedly demonstrated support and care for me and my family, and a real effort to make the work place inclusive, flexible, comfortable and friendly. The team are not only very knowledgeable but friendly and helpful.

Cons

Could improve structured training and time for researching and improving efficiency in some parts.

Pros

The collaborative approach between the design and development teams, along with the opportunity to work on projects for big-name clients, was a huge career boost.

Cons

Poor company culture and value. They were constantly taking on new projects without considering who would actually do the work. This led to massive burnout and overwhelmed employees. To top it off, the company didn't offer any support when dealing with challenging or disrespectful clients. It's no surprise that so many people have left in the past two years. It's a shame because there's real potential here, but the company needs to prioritise its employees and stop overpromising clients. While the company claimed to value diversity, there was a pattern of promotions favouring British men, which limited opportunities for women and colleagues from different backgrounds.
