Pros

- Flexible home office arrangements - Other departments of the business seem to have a productive and professional vibe, so I suppose it depends on your role

Cons

- Salaries below average - Outdated equipment and software (I was shocked when I first started and compared it to technology provided in previous jobs) - It is my impression that a hostile working environment has been engineered in the Marketing team: E.g. Senior leaders screaming at colleagues in front of clients at events, meetings turning into a non-constructive blame game. It hasn't always been like this and I think that's why people are leaving. - There's no training budget, even if you work there several years - Unhelpful middle managers (e.g. Marcomms & creative) refusing to deal with or at least answer to requests by other departments, creating bottlenecks - You’re expected to work all hours and weekends for no compensation and no thanks - Ridiculous levels of micromanagement and confusing never-ending approval structures have been implemented in lieu of any real direction

Pros

Very flexible with scheduling. Nice bonus job that you can do after work. Not too difficult and if you’re already watching the game you might as well be getting paid for it. Supervisors and management are great and schedule very well.

Cons

Hard to get a lot of hours after the month of November. Guaranteed to work at least part of a Saturday almost every week.

Pros

There are some very smart, very strong team members. However, those individuals are leaving in droves.

Cons

The executive leadership team, especially Carsten have lost their way. Increasing demands on staff, while cutting team staffing across all functions, forcing 5 days in office without thinking through a plan and how it will effect families, and lack of raises the last few years has created a very stressed and overworked culture. This company has fully shifted into an "appease the shareholders" phase of cost cutting, do more with less phase which is having a large effect on the quality of talent. There is a constant shift of senior leadership with changing priorities when the actual fix to most problems are to just add low level staff to do work. This place is overrun with Sr leaders demanding KPI/KRI updates, sitting in meetings, and not much time spent doing actual work.
