Great company with really nice people - Project Manager Wide Eye Employee Review

Working at Wide Eye has been an amazing experience. One of the things that stands out most is how committed the company is to ongoing improvement. They don’t just collect feedback through surveys and conversations—they actually use it to create thoughtful action plans and make real changes. What’s refreshing is that leadership doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. They lead with humility, genuinely listen to every voice, and make space for all perspectives to be heard. It’s the most inclusive and respectful environment I’ve ever worked in. Even with such a positive culture, they never get complacent. There’s a clear drive to keep growing, evolving, and learning together as a team. That mindset, combined with the supportive atmosphere, makes Wide Eye a truly special place to work. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a workplace that values people and progress equally.

Every place has its opportunities but I think that Wide Eye does the best they can with the tools they have and they keep evolving.

The work itself has the potential to be deeply impactful. Wide Eye Creative takes on progressive projects for causes and organizations that matter. There are smart, passionate people throughout the team who genuinely care about the mission.

Unfortunately, the company is led by two white male executives whose leadership actively undermines the values they claim to uphold. Despite a portfolio filled with equity-driven work, the internal culture tells a different story. In the past three years, over a dozen women have left due to the toxic work environment, often citing burnout, dismissal of their ideas, or more overt acts of exclusion. People of color are regularly tokenized during the client acquisition process — shown off to win contracts, then pushed aside when real work begins. Input from women and BIPOC employees is frequently shut down or ignored by executive leadership, creating a workplace where only certain voices are truly heard. The sexism and racism present at the leadership level are not isolated incidents — they are systemic, persistent, and deeply ingrained in how decisions are made and whose contributions are valued. Wide Eye Creative is not a safe or supportive environment for women or minorities, regardless of how inclusive their branding may appear.
