Excellent Team and Culture - Recensione dipendente - Creative Director presso COMPETE Digital

The COMPETE team invests in their employees. We don't cycle up and down, and we appreciate talent and help uplift our employees. The work is meaningful, and there is a lot of autonomy,

Busy seasons (like any job in the political space) are hard work but employees are given ample time off post busy season and throughout the slow periods to recover.

Niche industry with access to interesting projects and portfolio development. Passionate and talented staff (outside of management) who are great to work with. Remote flexibility.

The company is dominated by a culture of favoritism that undermines fairness and professionalism. Leadership decisions are often influenced by personal connections, creating an environment where accountability is inconsistent and conflicts of interest go unchecked. Employees who raise legitimate concerns risk retaliation, with leadership openly admitting to modifying and delaying HR reports. Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) have been used to address personal conflicts rather than legitimate performance concerns, creating a culture of fear rather than professional growth. Over the past two years, multiple employees have left specific departments, while leadership turnover remains minimal, raising concerns about how employee issues are handled at higher levels.
