Integrated Media Solutions

Is this your company?

A great group of people, but with rocky leadership, putting band-aids aren't fixing the problem at its core. - Anonymous employee Integrated Media Solutions Employee Review

Pros

-People make all the difference in a company and there were so many brilliant, hard working and enthusiastic employees. It's a smaller agency, so you found yourself in the kitchen grabbing coffee or working closely with people on just about every team -Hours were pretty decent for a full service digital agency and a small group -You learn a lot and get exposed to everything -Fun happy hours -Leadership team full of strong Type A personalities that can sell a photo to a blind man

Cons

-Leadership did not retain talent well at all. -Stretched very thin but that is normal in most agencies. -Have never witnessed a junior employee promotion, smart junior employees have probably left before committing -Politics politics politics. Lots of favoritism and bureaucracy. -Revolving door. Come in. Learn what you can. Get out.

Pros

Flexibiliity; working with all levels of employees; full service agency. Extremely talented video production group, all in-house. The social media talent is awesome!

Cons

Sometimes too busy to have regularly scheduled meetings. Deadlines are always an issue with most ad agencies, but they seem to handle them okay.

Pros

Immediate supervisors, whether aware of it or not, are not only managers to their subordinates, but are also leaders and potential mentors. My immediate supervisors were wonderful in their leadership and directional guidance, making my career knowledge enriching and satisfying.

Cons

L-O-N-G work days. Weekends too. Although a VPN (virtual private network) was in place so employees could access their desktop computers from elsewhere, working after hours or on weekends was common, normal, and acceptable. This is one industry in which people looked at you funny if you leave at 5 or 6pm, making remarks about you "working half a day". Work/life balance was heavily and unfairly gravitated to "work", leaving little for "life". So if you value the quality of your life, and your health, don't work for Integrated Media Solutions. Also, since there are two offices on opposite coasts, sometimes one coast would interact with the other outside of the other's business hours.
