Pros

You wear a lot of hats at Hype Well media so you're able to flex your creative skillset. It was rewarding to see projects come to fruition and work with popular food chain clients in the LA/OC region. The company has a very startup feel and the company culture is young and fresh. Fun job to get your foot through the door in the digital marketing industry.

Cons

Hype Well has the image of an established "hip and fun" company, but they feel like a failing startup. Low pay, long hours, everyone is overworked and spread too thin. Interns were not compensated with anything other than food and were NOT guaranteed a full-time job after months of the company stringing them along with incentives to WORK FOR FREE longer. Those who do get hired do not receive any benefits other than a minimum hourly wage during a 3-month probation. CEO and managers do not care about the employees well-being as evident by their low pay and the amount of workers who work overtime to finish their tasks. Hype Well hires mostly entry-level workers because people keep quitting and senior management is cheap. Upward mobility is pretty much nonexistent. The company is ill-fit to adapt to the high turnover rate and instead of hiring more employees, they pile on job titles to employees' already-existing titles to fill in the missing gaps. The company will take on any morally questionable client as long as they have the money (including Pro-Trump propaganda companies). If you value work-life balance, do yourself a favor and look for a job elsewhere. If you do decide to work here, don't expect to stay here longer than a year.

Pros

There are no real advantages to working here compared to other companies.

Cons

- Workloads are brutal, hours are long, and the pace is constantly overwhelming. - There is very little structure, making day to day work chaotic and unclear. - Lack of advancement opportunities makes the role feel like a dead end from the start. - Managers can be openly hostile, adding to an already draining environment. - The overall experience feels stressful, frustrating, and unsustainable.
