Vantaggi
The management team at FatTail foster a culture which, while fun and relaxed, still features a high degree of professionalism complemented by a strong work ethic across the board. There is an enterprising spirit which pervades the organization, and I rarely, if ever, feel as though I’m working with someone who isn’t pulling their own weight Doug the CEO and the rest of the management team have an open-door policy which make them extremely accessible to employees. Speaking from personal experience and anecdotal evidence from colleagues, I can say that they do not merely pay lip service to this policy, and work to be as receptive and accommodating of any issue brought to them as possible If you like to travel, working in account management and project management roles affords employees the opportunity to travel from time to time. Most of FatTail’s client base is in New York due to the nature of the digital media industry, but I’ve traveled all over the US and internationally many times The business has grown each year I’ve worked here, and it’s great working with a leader in the space. From what I understand, the past 2 years have been the most successful in the company’s 15-year history, and there don’t seem to be any signs of slowing down. The product team in particular prioritizes a balance between innovation and meeting client/market needs, which in turn makes managing the accounts and projects a good experience
Svantaggi
The first few performance reviews I participated in were very positive; management had some clear points for improvement and goals which they asked of me, and they were also receptive to hearing my thoughts on how they could improve themselves, which I really appreciated. I like to think that it’s because I indeed improved myself in the suggested areas, but recent reviews have been light on constructive criticism and objectives to be met. Given that, more formalization around performance reviews would go a long way Speaking to a Con it looks like some other reviewers had, I can say that when I first started, management did not prioritize advertising company objectives internally; that is, everyone knew what work needed to be done, and it would get done. In the past 18 months though, I can say a concerted effort has been made to make the core mission clear, and to outline how and why the company is working toward that mission. My hope is that they will continue walking the walk on that front
