Pros

Hiring great talent is their specialty. The team is smart, quick, and collaborative. The projects are diverse, challenging, and fun.

Cons

Let's be real. Industries from tech to advertising are wrought with sexism. As other reviews have mentioned, Free Range is no different. Upon starting there, I was confident, strong-willed, dynamic, and not afraid to back down. By the time I left, the belittling, silencing, devaluing, and lack of support experienced daily finally got to me. I wasn't doing my best work. Who does, really, in that situation? Not me. I've never been one to fit into a box, unless I'm creating it myself. I persevered on up through my last day, as if I wasn't bothered by the inequality or unjust treatment I witnessed to myself and others. The damage experienced daily was subtle, but over time it snowballed into something I can now see was/is sexism. Thank you to the other reviews for naming something I couldn't. Now, I can also see that the culture of fear and competition that has been nurtured there in an attempt to champion strong creative actually heralds something toxic and dated. I am fortunate to no longer be a part of it. It's ironic. I left Free Range but, now that I'm gone, I'm finally free.

Pros

- Great client portfolio (mainly nonprofits & other organizations doing good) - Fully work-from-home - Great coworkers

Cons

- Organization sometimes struggles with process; bottlenecks can lead to overworking in some months and underworking in others - Working with team members in many different time zones extends feedback cycles; clients always need to be reminded about this
