Vantaggi
Work life balance is a real thing here. I don't feel like a number but a valued, valuable presence. The people are genuine which makes it really easy to be at work and enjoy what you do. There's an emphasis on personal growth and your career. They also have a startup feel where they're willing to be agile in their approach and pivot when needed to be the best agency. Overall great place to work!
Svantaggi
As in most businesses, there are times when you make a move in the wrong direction but the thing about Curiosity is that the team and particularly the co-founders know to not let anything fester and make moves to right the ship and keep moving and growing.

Vantaggi
90% of the people at Curiosity are the best humans you will ever work with. They take work/life balance seriously and do it very well, especially considering the industry. The agency has some great clients and gets fun projects regularly. People are (generally) kind and incredibly talented. Great benefits package overall.
Svantaggi
Pay is below industry standard, even for the midwest. Managers are not trained or coached on how to manage well, which means they lose (or let go) a lot of really excellent junior and midlevel employees for things that normally would be coaching or growth opportunities. That also contributes to their high turnover rate of people, which makes processes and client onboarding slow, clunky, and inefficient. They also have zero transparency around career growth, with promotions often feeling like playing favorites for titles rather than true career growth and skill fits. There is still very much a culture of "old boys club" masked behind their many DEI certifications, which struggle to hold up once you're there for longer than a couple of months. While the majority of people at Curiosity are total gems, the small handful who are not are mostly in senior leadership levels and trickle down a lot of toxic and harmful behavior. Managers are not held accountable for how they coach their employees, rather, it is incredibly common for junior employees to take the fall for a manager's poor direction and leadership. If you are already at director level or above and are content with where your career is at, Curiosity might be a great fit. If you are at anything lower than director level, you can and should find much better places to learn and grow.
