Pros

Some of the people you meet here are true specialists in what they create for clients. Interesting enough projects Very few times did I feel the agency burn

Cons

-Absolute chaos. You can work steadily, and have a five to six month bizDev Break every year. -The office is so tied to Berlin, and communication is not either area’s specialty, you’ll work on something for a good month and present it, only to find out Berlin offices were working on it and want to take over. -the weird desire/push for on-site is ridiculous. Most employees show up one or two days a week to the office, yet, they’ll hire remote and then expect you to move to their location. -higher level creative management is torn between utilizing their strengths and pitching sales decks all day long. -said creative management is more interested in micro-managing employees rather than supporting and cheering them on. -there’s three offices, and all three should work in tandem. Unfortunately, with budgeting, it becomes a very territorial chaotic “you cannot work on xyz because you are not in xyz office.” Pay could be better, and they could be more open to soft negotiations, post-Covid.

Pros

Everyone that I have engaged at the company are super nice, approachable and no one seems to have any ego either! So that's a first for me. I definitely felt welcomed like a family from day 1. They do fun and engaging (even silly) events. Their creative approach is top-notch AND SO IS THE TEAM behind it. They definitely encourage growth and I have experienced that first hand. Take advantage of the benefits!!! Everyone is always willing to help get you where you want to succeed.

Cons

Could use more dogs in the office. There should be a lock for the beer bot.
