Pros

You will learn a lot very quickly. The company's processes and account management is down to a science.

Cons

Metis fosters a culture of fear; you will be micromanaged and sworn at if you mess up. You are encouraged to bring new ideas to the table, but you will be publicly shamed in front of the entire office if someone does not agree with you. Some people use this as motivation to do better the next time around, but this type of culture is not for me.

We’re glad, however, that you learned a lot with us, and we hope you can tap into that knowledge with your next company, as so many of our alumni have done over the years as they’ve progressed in their careers. Our goal is to nurture the talented professionals who join our team. If you'd like to talk about your experience, please feel free to contact me directly. -Rebecca Joyner, vp of content strategy

Pros

Loved working with a senior team - very knowledgeable and helped in my professional growth. Working from home is great and very flexible. Great benefits including PTO and company holidays.

Cons

Loved my team and was sad we didn’t get more time to meet up in person!

Pros

Previously, I had been with a large international PR and marketing agency. While I was part of the management team and had been there a while, it wasn’t the right fit. I wanted to get back to the type of environment I enjoyed most; working closely with clients alongside a tight-knit group of pros who are experts in their respective fields. Fortunately, a former colleague and one of the original founders at Metis contacted me to join their leadership team and help the company transition from a traditional PR agency into a business consultancy with only senior-level people. Also, ownership at Metis had changed, opening the door for me to help build a path to the future. I’ve been with Metis for roughly three years now and it’s one of the best career moves I’ve made. It’s made up of top-notch senior talent. It’s not an agency where work is passed off to a team of inexperienced personnel to fulfill once the contract is signed. Morale is high, everyone is supportive and the benefits are impressive. There’s ample opportunity to learn and we’re growing. Since I’ve been here, I’ve seen just one person leave. I’ve enjoyed the experience so much, I’ve brought others into the fold, as full-time staff and consultants.

Cons

Changing the direction of an agency isn’t something that happens overnight. But while it can take time for everything to fall into place, Metis made a successful shift to senior-only and its strong momentum reflects it.
