Pros

Work life balance, still a hybrid model, working with small teams for greater impact

Cons

SLT is severely outdated, upper management does not listen to employee feedback. Lack of direction and communication from managers on what their expectations are. Unclear guidelines and impossible deadlines due to lack of planning ahead. Also no discussion of vertical growth, youre stuck where you started and it can take 6+ years for a promotion if they dont lay u off before then.

Pros

- Location is prime with easy access to transit.

Cons

-Burnout culture is thriving at Scene+. Management actively celebrates overworking. Working evenings and weekends isn't just common; it’s an unstated requirement. Burnout is treated as a milestone & true dedication rather than a red flag. - There is a total lack of department-wide cohesion. Teams are frequently pitted against one another, and clear "favouritism" is displayed during town halls, when giving recognition on campaign launches, within funnelling promotions and overall resources; while the rest of teams are left to struggle with crushing workloads. - Consistent unrealistic expectations & chaos rule directions. Alignment is non-existent. Direction changes at the last minute based on partner demands, yet employees are expected to deliver results "with a snap of the fingers." This is coupled with heavy micromanagement from VPs who clearly do not trust their teams to execute. - While they like to say member focus is a key pillar, the company’s primary objective is the happiness and profits of the partners, often at the direct expense of employee well-being. - The turnover is so high that three years of tenure makes you a "veteran." This speaks volumes about the long-term viability of a career here.
