Pros

Some great clients to work with, good expertise & knowledge, opportunities to work across some fun campaigns

Cons

In my experience Tangerine employ young marketers and want blood, sweat and tears. You will be expected to work unpaid overtime on tasks until the job is done. They had little interest in progressing my career as a junior marketer. Don't take my word for it, though - ask about their staff turnover rate. I found the culture to be extremely toxic - while i was there they had a group Whatsapp chat for out of works social gatherings that i was never invited to join, despite enquiring about it. It felt very cliquey. I think Tangerine are an exceptionally talented bunch, with lots of awards to prove it - but they need to realise that people would rather have an inclusive workplace culture and a kinder, more nurturing approach to management than awards on the shelves.

Pros

Tangerine is split in two teams, the consumer team and the B2B team. The B2B team was full of smart, organised, hard working and fun people. I can't speak to the consumer team but I've heard they were not as nice or friendly. Upper management works hard to ensure lower level employees are heard and supported. There are lots of training programmes in place. One of the best things about working there was the minimum retainer fee.

Cons

Considering the number of awards and strong financial performance of the company, salaries should be higher.

Pros

Overall the agency has great people working there and there are no problems between peers at the same level. The breadth of clients is great, and the studio and creative teams are really collaborative. There have been some great hires at AD levels, and there is lots to learn from them as they have come from really well respected agencies. The agency is situated at a good end of town for traffic and parking and Sue on reception is a real un-sung hero of the agency.

Cons

The senior leadership from CEO to BD are really chaotic and there isn't a uniformed way of them managing or leading the agency. They have a last min approach to everything, which causes them to be curt, snippy and expect work to be delivered last min, when with better planning there doesn't need to be such chaos. Consumer has really specific issues with 1-2 of the BD's being super rude and dismissive, but they know how to operate with the CEO's so they get away with bad behaviour, lateness and just overall poor management. As I learned the business used to be a lot smaller and the very senior management have been there a long time, I don't think that there is anyone there with the experience to really lead some of the size of account teams and the CEO's don't seem to see the problems as they are out of the business a lot.
