Pros

As a recent graduate Fetch is easily the best place to start your career, I came through the DAN Talentpool and a few interviews at different DAN Agency's and Fetch is the only one which stood out. You are made to feel at home as soon as you start, and the office culture is the best i have seen. Some of the other reasons why Fetch is great: Working on major global clients is a huge positive Great office and office culture, everyone is friendly and always willing to chat. Regular socials to thank employees, including Go-Karting, Company Trips etc. Senior management are not hidden away and always around for a chat. Free breakfast and fruit Beer fridge on fridays Pub Lunches Regular presentations from other teams to showcase the great work being achieved. Clear career progression. Shoreditch is a great place to work, whilst it may be tricky to get to for some.

Cons

Work can become a tad monotonous, however this is obviously dependent from role to role. Can't see much opportunity to move between clients, let alone roles, which i think would have been beneficial in the early months in order to fully understand media. Being apart of DAN does provide interesting opportunities but does also close a lot of doors that would've been open within an independent agency.

Pros

Fetch is a fun, ambitious, and spirited place to work! I feel lucky coming into our office everyday. People here are intelligent and motivated, and everyone becomes friends easily with one another because we have a friendly nature. The office is fast-paced yet laid back at the same time, we are culturally diverse which is enriching for our team. Upper management is easily accessible when needed, and teams are given a lot of recognition internally when hard work is put in. Overall, everyone I have interacted with has said they love coming into the office and enjoy the work they do, even though it can be challenging at times but always very rewarding.

Cons

The problem is there are so many opportunities to address any problems to the right resources, yet people still manage to air out their discontentment in the wrong places, and it’s so counter productive because nothing will ever get resolved this way. It’s a shame to know that not everyone properly utilizes our resources in order to help our amazing company continue to make improvements when needed. If most everyone could understand that going straight to upper management/HR could have such a positive impact, it would greatly benefit the individual and our team/culture as a whole.

Pros

I worked at Fetch for 3.5 years and had such huge opportunities there. Being self-directed is essential to success here, but it is highly rewarded. Besides the ability to get your hands dirty, make an impact, and control your own destiny at Fetch, the atmosphere is great. Snacks, social events, and a real network of supportive and smart people. Work felt like hanging out with a lot of friends for me. I worked with amazing people internally and amazing clients. I gained tons of industry knowledge and technical skill. And I really believe anyone who is driven enough can and will get the same level of satisfaction I got. What else can you ask for?

Cons

In my time at Fetch, there was a lot of growth, which is always a challenge to manage. As I said above, if you don't have a lot of your own initiative, Fetch can be a challenge because you won't always get processes and guidelines handed to you in this relatively new field of advertising. The communication about the direction of the company or major company news is not always executed elegantly, which can be confusing at times, but is mostly harmless.
