Best Place to Grow and Contribute - Account Executive Roots Digital Employee Review

It was a pleasure working at Roots Digital because they are very open to accepting suggestions and promoting good communication amongst the team. The owners also lend an ear when you need to ask for help or need clarification on various topics.

Not many downsides. There may be some miscommunication due to the language barrier, but it is easy to overcome that.

Making a career pivot can be intimidating, but the environment here is uniquely designed to support that leap. Coming in with limited digital advertising knowledge, I found the leadership (Ian and Amenda) to be incredibly patient and nurturing. They prioritized your potential and willingness to learn over your past job titles. In my previous industry, mistakes can be rigid, but here they are treated as teaching moments. I was guided through my errors without hesitation, which allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. The permanent remote setup eliminated the stress of a commute, allowing me to focus entirely on mastering new skills while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The company culture actively discourages burnout, which is a breath of fresh air during a demanding career transition. For holidays, they followed each country’s national holidays and held an agency closure annually at the end of the year.

As a growing agency, the systems are constantly being polished and can feel fluid. If you are coming from a highly structured corporate environment, it may take a moment to adjust to the "build-as-we-go" nature of the agency. While the experience is invaluable, the benefits package is still growing. Traditional corporate perks, like health insurance, were things they were working on, but it’s a trade-off for the level of mentorship and flexibility you get.
