Pros

The team is very close, warm and always available to help me. I work closely with Creative department but also with network managers, is really interesting to follow the entire projects. The video qualities is really high, so the product I sell is good. I love to interact with companies of different sectors and also with creative and media agencies. I'm able to follow the entire project, starting from selling it, then to support clients in finding the right way to use the contents. So you can be involved in the entire communication campaign, this is very interesting for me.

Cons

Companies hardly understand the plus of crowdsourcing in comparison with standard video production. Companies are scared in giving their brands to apparently unknown filmmakers, so it's hard to sell the product.

Pros

Team is warm and welcoming, and the concept behind the business has real potential.

Cons

There is no transparency and a serious lack of communication. Business objectives and strategy are not aligned with sales, as a result individual objectives are constantly changing and work stress is high. Management are spirited and emotions often overflow..

Pros

Great client roster, co-workers from all around Europe are fantastic. If you're self-driven and fancy a challenge work hard without being rewarded for it, you will flourish at Userfarm.

Cons

Dictatorship of senior management that doesn't understand the creative industry, pathetic with no clear goals. There are no employment contracts and everyone works under a "consultancy agreement". Userfarm also employs an army of sales people from outside the UK and exploits the fact that they are not familiar with UK employment rights and often work below minimum wage with unachievable and unrealistic sales targets. Salaries are often paid late. No benefits, no paid holidays, no sick-pay, no bonus schemes. Userfarm's London offices are located in the basement of a homeless hostel. Health and safety (daylight, heating, fresh air) are neglected to save costs.
