Pros

I worked at IR for over 2 years as a full time employee and all I have to say is positive things. I'm one of the old school crew. I had the chance to work with Jamie directly and I learned so much. He is really great with clients and people and uber passionate. Some Pros: -Great working hours -Fun Staff events -I got to work on Keurig and some large accounts. As I said, I learned at lot. -Vancouver office is really cool. -Most of the staff are fun and easy to get along with. -Benefits were good. I required a significant amount of dental work and it was covered. -Pay we above average -Culture is young and fun

Cons

I was recently asked to re-join the team as they are growing again. Sounds exciting.

Pros

I used to work here and haven't checked up on them in a while and I thought they could use a solid review. I have to say had a great time working for these guys. The work was great. The people were great. I learned so much. I really miss the location in Gastown. Such a great office location. Food in the area awesome too. Clients were good. Work varied from small to large projects mostly in retail. We also did some really cool apps. Say hi to everyone for me.

Cons

Like any startup, it we went through some hard learnings but all in all was part of the deal.

Pros

There have been challenges as the client list changed and the agency grew & shrank – a lot of that is visible in the frustration of the outgoing reviews from 2017. That being said, the management team has been focused on making improvements, and as a result, there's a lot I enjoyed about my time at IR: • Solid team leads who genuinely care for their reports. • Eager to pitch new business, and support strong investment in pitch creative. • The exciting work gets shared around the creative team - no cherry picking. Everyone will do banners, but everyone do work for the big, fun clients too. • Being a small business (always <40) means co-workers are like family. • In-this-together attitude of employees. • Beer Fridays. Sounds cliché but it really brings everyone together here.

Cons

There's a few kinks that haven't yet been worked out: • Mainly project based work makes forecasting/staffing challenging. • Management team can overthink some of the issues. • Toxic negativity WAS an issue, but mostly resolved through culture improvements.
