Quarterly layoffs required to make numbers - Client Services Team Rockfish Interactive Employee Review

Pros

Great clients Fun work Smart employees, especially in strategy, UX and analytics

Cons

Company puts a lot of resources into getting clients, but fails to treat them well after signing. Up to six employees are fired two weeks before the end of every quarter "to make numbers" when dissatisfied clients leave. Senior leaders actually encourage a gossip-fueled, back-stabbing middle-school culture because it makes the junior employees "hungry"

Pros

- Change - Self-starter environment - Brilliant, good people you can constantly learn from and grow alongside - Challenging, innovative, exciting work on top brands - Trust & flexibility: Work from home, as needed PTO - Choose your own adventure: Rockfish is extremely accommodating to those who show grit and initiative and dedication. If you want a new challenge, want to try on a new hat, you'll get the opportunity if you worked for it - Excellent leadership and culture in Business Innovations (Client Services) group - Beer at work - Casual environment (fart jokes boost morale, it's scientifically proven)

Cons

- Volatility driven by unpredictable market/industry changes - High-pressure environment, need to be comfortable with high(ish) stakes work if you want to advance here - Not a place to get comfortable in a routine, so if that's your goal don't work here - Summer camp/college dorm-like activities intended to "build culture" like marshmallow eating contests and trivia. Totally fine, but don't make people feel like they don't love Rockfish and their teams because they don't value this.
