Pros

Rewarding work in a rewarding environment. Having experienced the full life-cycle of the hiring process (intern turned full-time employee) I can attest that this organization provides a much fuller experience than any other job I have had. The ability to take personal initiative in order to advance one's self further within the agency and the overall industry is an initiative supported and promoted by the company. I see myself continuing to grow at Gravity to reach a point I could not have imagined myself at just a few years ago.

Cons

A combination of hard work and smart work is required. By no means should you assume you can come into work, keep your head down and leave at the end of the day. If you are not open to working alongside other employees in different departments then this company may not be for you. Going the extra mile is not required, but it is a value ingrained in many of the agency's founders and current employees. Expect this may rub off on you as well!

Pros

Nice people from various different countries. The offices are located in midtown. Some of the people here are smart and they mean very well to help each out.

Cons

Some nice people here. The salaries are low, most people need sponsorship visas which is the plan to keep them stuck. Agency head is a con-artist who uses a ghost writing firm to write all articles which he then posts on LinkedIn, Forbes and other online sites as his own. Very often boasting about the articles as if they are really his own. The agency claims to be the #1 Asian agency but this is not true because they submit bogus numbers to industry publication who don't check (this is why we don’t attend or participate in any Asian industry event). They should do an audit. They are constantly hiring and firing people. They even fill the website with pictures of interns and freelancers to look big. Everyone hates working there but they are stuck because nobody will hire them because a job here will blacklist you from any multicultural agency anywhere There is no work life balance. People who regularly go out to lunch or take days off are looked down upon. Place is run like a family business and so there is no room for growth or promotion. Findr partners are really good and brains behind the operation and nobody understands why they take a back seat. All the positive reviews are not real. Stay away this place will ruin your career.

Dear Smoke and Mirrors, We apologize for the late reply and are saddened by the way you feel. As I am sure you know we always like to address issues of discontent as soon as we are made aware. Please always come to us so that we can address these issues and if our company culture does not bring you what you need, we are always happy to assist helping you to find success and happiness. We have worked hard to create true partnerships with industry leaders so that we can not only ensure the growth of our company but also of our staff. The articles you mention are a collaborative effort, all done between the CEO and a team member. I am happy to say I am one of them that has collaborated with him. In addition, very few leaders write their own published articles, ours just happens to always participate in his and always gives credit to his collaborator. The company and its team have worked hard for it recognition and rankings, all of which have been granted by industry leaders that take their responsibilities as seriously as we do.
